Summary
Details

""The Library in the School"" serves as a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the administration, organization, and function of the school library. Written by Lucile F. Fargo, a pioneer in the field, this work explores the vital role the library plays in the modern educational system. It addresses practical concerns such as housing and equipment, business methods, and the technical processes involved in maintaining a curated collection for students and faculty.

Beyond the administrative aspects, the text delves into the educational objectives of the school library, emphasizing its potential to foster a love for reading and to support the broader curriculum. Fargo provides insights into the duties and qualifications of the school librarian, the selection of materials, and the development of effective library instruction. As a cornerstone of professional literature for librarians and educators, ""The Library in the School"" provides a detailed look at the methodologies and philosophy that shaped school media centers during a transformative period in education.

This work remains a significant resource for understanding the historical development of school libraries and the enduring principles of library service to children and young adults.
