The 30 case studies cover: problems in child management; the librarian's role in reading instruction and guidance, and in teaching library skills; conflicting opinions on the management and objectives of the media center; the librarian's role and job parameters; library administration problems; attempts at censorship for reasons of alleged obscenity or racial discrimination; and the librarian's relationships with principal, aides, students, teachers, parents, and other librarians.
