The Committee for the Cooperative Study of Secondary
School StaMardg in its 1940 report gave this summary of the
evaluation and responsibility of the library in the aeho#l.
The library should be & center of the edueatimal
life of the school, set sayely a collection of bo#ke*
It should provide the yeading' and referee f&eilitie# '
necessary to make the educational program effective.
Its books and ether resow#e# ahouM therefore be ehesen^
in the light of the specific aims and purposes of the
school. Many pupils do not have access to good books
stM, periodicals in their homes and therefore lack the
background which aequatintanee with such material would
aupply. 3y teaching pupils hew and where to find li-
brary materials, how to select them, and how to use them
effectively, the library should provide pupils #ith
gable meane net only of extending their knowledge and
understanding, but also of developing deaiy&ble leisure
habits. The library and its facilities net only should
be a# attractively equipped that aesthetic t&stea will ;
be developed, but also should be readily and easily
accessible,23
