How can a school library support the educational programme of a school? What should the library contain? How should it be organised? How can pupils be encouraged to make the best use of it? Running a School Library answers these and many other similar questions in a practical, straightforward way. With the help of diagrams and examples, the book describes all the basic procedures required to run a school library. There is useful advice on how to budget for stock, and how to select and order new material. In addition, the author has outlined a programme for teaching library and study skills in schools. Though designed primarily as a self-help manual for teacher-librarians who have no previous experience in organising their schools' library, this book can also be used as a basic text by students in teachers' colleges and by those attending in-service courses on school library management.
