The school library

A necessity in modern education

It is impossible to prepare students adequately for their class work or for life without a generous supply of good books. No school of any grade, whether it be the elementary school or a great university, is properly equipped unless it has a well organized library.

A good school library helps to make good citizens

What is a school library?

It is a collection of books, periodicals, pamphlets and pictures, grouped and arranged for use, administered by someone who knows how to make books serve both pupils and teachers.
