The readings for this (in topic one) were certainly and eye opener. I did not realise just how short the history of school libraries in Australia actually is. I didn't know that high schools had libraries before primary schools and that there was little direction and knowledge in indvidual schools. It certainly explains why my school, built in 1960, does not have a 'library' building and our school library is simply two classrooms with the dividing wall removed!
It seems that there have been common concerns throughout the decades of school library development and that these concerns continue today. Concerns such as budget, training of teacher librarians, design of the library, collaboration between teacher librarian and teachers and the stocking of libraries. All concerns that I am sure will be explored in depth throughout this subject.
