| contents | Combined School-Public (Community) Libraries. A Brief Overview. Cassell, Marianne K. Community Resources Community Satisfaction Community Services Library Cooperation Library Services Position Papers Program Descriptions Public Libraries School Libraries Shared Library Resources This review of the current status of combined school-public (community) libraries in Vermont acknowledges that, while on the surface the concept appears to be just the answer for many communities with limited funds and other resources, it also raises many questions about the nature of library service to a community. The paper provides: (1) a brief history of the development of community libraries from the early 1970s to the present; (2) a list of the current community libraries; (3) the positive and negative aspects of having a community library; (4) actions a public library board should take if they are considering development of a community library; and (5) an annotated bibliography of seven works on community library failures and successes in the United States and Canada.
