Community Development Community Information Services Community Programs Learning Resources Centers Library Cooperation Library Facilities Library Services Mergers Public Libraries School Community Relationship School Libraries The dedication in June 1979 of a newly constructed library facility in Olney, Texas, brought together the collections of the school and public libraries, which had been administered as a single unit with one board, library coordinator, and budget, since 1974. A study conducted to evaluate the coordinated library which existed from 1974 to 1979 examined the operation of the library both from the administrative point of view and on a day-to-day basis, problems which arose and their solutions, community attitudes toward the library, and the advantages and disadvantages of such library services. Some 60 persons responded to open-ended questions in hour-long interviews, including library personnel, teachers, students, community leaders, and community residents. Minutes of the various boards involved and all written documents relevant to the research were also examined. A discussion of the findings includes descriptions of the library operations being studied--i.e., the library board, funding, administration and budgeting, censorship, and new programs--as well as advantages of this approach to library service, and factors which were important to its success.
