A school library has a special character that differs from that<br />
of other libraries.<br />
• The starting point for the activity is the curriculum – not<br />
the general sophisticating service of the municipality.<br />
• A school library is a part of the school – not an independent<br />
unit.<br />
• The location within the school building should be as central<br />
as possible – not at a distance.<br />
• The target groups are the pupils and the teachers – not<br />
the whole population of the area.<br />
• The library activity reaches tho whole age group – not only<br />
the ones who voluntarily seek it.<br />
• Working methods are pedagogically justified – not service<br />
oriented.<br />
• The library is used by the whole class, as a group,<br />
independently – seldom optionally<br />
• The material is specific and limited – not extensive and<br />
aiming at high rate of borrowing.<br />
• In developing the school library and the school’s information<br />
and communications technology we receive fringe benefits<br />
that all belong under the umbrella term shared information<br />
strategy.<br />
– The special nature of the school library needs to be<br />
acknowledged as a part of the pedagogic development of the<br />
school.<br />
