ABSTRACT
If, as is most likely, an existing room is to be used for the library, much can be done by careful planning of the furniture to make the best use of the space. In the librarian’s office, books in course of being catalogued or awaiting rebinding can be left without danger of being disturbed; library supplies stored, minor repairs executed, and typewriting done. A discussion room, possibly combined with a recreational reading-room, also adjoining the library, would complete the provision. Good lighting, both natural and artificial, is all-important in a library. The general cleaning of the library is usually done with that of the rest of the school buildings, but the cleaning of the books is more directly the concern of the librarian. Essentials of equipment are a desk for the librarian; something of the flat-topped writing-desk variety with kneehole and drawers is all that is required.
