Running a School Library Media Center

by Barbara L. Stein, Risa W. Brown

Information on everything that contributes to the smoothly-running library media center is offered here. The authors first examine the purpose of the library media program within the school, and then cover topics like materials selection and circulation, acquisitions, processing, staffing, and instruction. They also deal with public relations, the library facility itself, and ways to become involved in curriculum planning. A practical, workable approach to budget proposals, allocations, and controls rounds out this indispensable guide.

I didn't find it too helpful - the content just wasn't quite what I'd hoped for. Good chapter on grants & budgets though that could be helpful for beginner librarians (like me!). Needed more pictures and graphics for my taste!

For someone who is new to the school library this has some helpful information. I was hoping for a bit more, for lack of a better word, substance.
