This document summarizes the key aspects of a school library including personnel, collection, and physical facilities. It outlines that a school library should have at least one full-time librarian or library in-charge, and additional personnel depending on the student enrollment. The collection should include a balanced selection of current text-based and non-text-based materials that support the curriculum. Physical facilities for the library should include a separate room or building that can accommodate at least 10% of students and provide an inviting environment conducive to learning.
