| Summary: | Written for the non-librarian or educated layperson, this manual provides step-by-step information on how to establish a school library. Although it is targeted for an African audience, the manual is general enough to provide information on school library development regardless of geographic location. The handbook begins by addressing the value of a school library and then considers library design and finance. Suggestions are made as to which books to buy first, where to buy books, and how to classify and catalog them. A Dewey Classification especially designed for the African secondary school curriculum is included, together with a listing of subject headings, a discussion of circulation procedures, and a description of the production of a library handbook. The use of books and the library in teaching is also considered, including one lesson plan, and the organization of a teacher's library is detailed. The manual concludes with descriptions of the use of non-book materials and the development of a library report. Illustrations and a subject index are provided. (4 references) (EW) |
