Combining Libraries: The Canadian and Australian Experience

Innovative service based on combining school and public libraries is widespread, and new experiments with amalgamation are frequently attempted. Many of these attempts flounder, however, and all are costly in terms of time, energy, and capital outlay. The purpose of this book is to present a clear, detailed record of practical experience with school/community libraries in Canada and Australia so that readers can build upon the experience of supervisors, directors, and superintendents.
