Abstract: The importance of the library in the modern school program has become an accepted fact today. Although there was some attempt even in the early part of the nineteenth century to establish libraries in schools, it has been primarily a twentieth century movement with most of the progress being made since 1920. The first libraries were concerned principally with books with little or no correlation with school subjects or activities; the school library of today is concerned with services. Among the factors responsible for this growth and changed conception of library service have been: the surveys and reports of organizations such as the National Education Association and the American Library Association; the influence of the Evaluative Criteria prepared by the Cooperative Study on Secondary Schools; the interest of regional accrediting associations; and changes in teaching methods.
