contents "A Few Good Books": South Dakota's Country School Libraries. Lindell, Lisa Elementary Secondary Education Legislation Library Development Library Funding Resource Allocation Rural Areas School Libraries Books were scarce in nineteenth-century South Dakota. Limited resources and a lack of widespread interest worked to hinder the growth of libraries in rural schools. Library advocates persisted in their cause, voicing their support, engaging in fund-raising activities, and proposing library legislation. Their efforts eventually led to the passage of a law in 1901 mandating a library in every school district in South Dakota. (Contains 70 references.) (Author/AEF)
