Policy 3.12 School and Public Library Cooperation

  1. The Niles-Maine District Library recognizes the important role a public library can play in serving school children. Within the limits dictated by the responsibility of the public library to serve all residents, the Library considers such school service among its important functions. The Library tries to supplement and enrich the reference, research and recreational needs of student users of all ages and abilities.
  2. The Library believes the responsibility for curriculum-related materials belongs primarily to the schools. The Library encourages the development of adequate school library facilities.
  3. Specific services offered by the Library to the schools and school libraries in the community may include classroom visits by Library staff to the schools, classroom visits to the Library when arranged in advance by teachers, and visits to nursery schools, day care centers and elementary school classrooms for story- reading and book talks.
