- Title
A Regional German School Library Association: A Story of Success?
- Authors
Brée, Hans Günther; Schlamp, Günter K.
- Abstract
There is no national or stateside legislation and regular funding for school libraries in Germany. The responsibility for school libraries is left to the municipalities and local public libraries. The article describes the history of a regional German school library working group (LAG) from 1987 to 2017 founded by a group of teachers and school in the federal state of Hesse to advise the government. It was questionable if a private association could in the long term be a viable solution for the development of an underdeveloped school library system but it has been successful.
