This center of learning provides the resources for satisfying reference, research, curricular, and personal needs of the school population. The school library was created to give students op- portunities to read discriminate , locate information quickly, do reference and research work efficiently and systematically, and select books wisely for reading en- joyment. The librarian, with the help of her assistant and the student library staff, strives to achieve the foremost aim of any library—to give service. However, the success of the junior-senior high school library program is not the sole responsibility of the librarian and her assistant. Since the school library is only a part of the whole school program, and reflects the philosophy of the school, the responsibility also rests on others, namely; the administrators, teachers, students, parents, and peo- ple of the community. Few realize the tremendous tasks to be performed by the librarian. A partial list of activities in which the li- brarian participates includes library “administration, per- sonnel management, self-development, public relations, the selection, acquisition, cataloging, classification and mechanical preparation of books and materials, circula- tion, reference guidance, assistance to leaders, physical upkeep of books and materials and care of shelves and files.” To ease the “work load” of the librarian, the assistant performs many duties which include typing bulletins, letters, cards; filing cards and verifying filing; bookkeep- ing; preparing books for use; professional tasks as the need arises. The work and services of the student library assistants cannot be underestimated. Student library staff work consists of routine duties, such as: checking books in and out, reading shelves, reserving books, locating books, magazines and pamphlets, filing magazines, filing cards. Simple reference questions are occasionally answered by student library staff members. The benefits derived from their participation are aptly expressed in Standards for School Library Programs.” “Under favorable circum- stances organized student participation in the school li- brary program yields educational and other values for the students involved. It heightens a sense of belonging, provides opportunities for leadership and cooperation, fosters the abilities to assume responsibility and to work satisfactorily with others, expands the knowledge and appreciation of libraries and their resources and for some students leads to an interest in librarianship as a profession.” The school library is usually open before 8 a.m. and seldom closes before 4:30 p.m. Students come to use the facilities of the library during their free periods. At times classes accompanied by their teachers come to select books or to work on projects. Any limitations to the use of the library by students are made in co-opera- tion with the policies of the school. In formulating rules and regulations school policy is followed to assure a co-ordinated program. A large reference collection, to which additions are made each year, is a valuable source for information, reference and research. The expanding circulating col- lection satisfies the needs of many students. A profes- sional collection is available to provide for the needs of the teachers and administrators. % 81
