School and Public Libraries: Developing the Natural Alliance

Drawing on well-known children's literature and defining moments in the history of school-public library relations to expose the potential that exists between schools and libraries, this guide offers practical suggestions, homework ideas for students, teachers and librarians, and 14 real-life examples of successful school-library partnerships. Initiating contact, sources of grants, sharing resources, motivating learners, and school services at the public library are some of the topics discussed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
