Every Kind Of Library Imaginable

I found this book when I was planning to introduce my students to the local public library. Reading through it, I was surprised at how many forms a library can take and how many different groups it can serve. I think this book is just as interesting for us adults as it is for kids. The illustrations are wonderfully colorful and detailed.

Types of libraries

This book gives the read pause for thought at the possibilities of the wide differences in types of libraries that are in existence in the United States. Have you ever been to a tool library?
