Reviews

American Public School Librarianship: A History provides us with a richly sourced account of the development of a key pedagogic site in schools and of many of the personal, institutional, and political reasons why they do-and do not do-certain things. This certainly makes it a valuable contribution.In a time when honest, thoughtful, and creative cultural resources are being limited and removed from educational sites, the multiple roles that school libraries play in these conflicts become even more important.
