There are different kinds of Libraries
College Library |
Academic Libraries are located on college campuses. The books and periodicals that are purchased by an Academic Library support the courses taught at that University or College. If a particular subject is not taught there, books about that subject will not be in the collection. Periodicals will tend to be Journals that publish scholarly articles needed for college level papers. |
|
Public Libraries carry books on almost any subject. The books that are selected will depend upon the people who use that particular libary. Because most patrons are adults, the fiction will reflect popular adult fiction and best selling authors and the magazines provided are also popular titles. Many Public Libraries also have wonderful young adult and children's literature sections. |

OK - This is our library! School libraries purchase materials that either support the curriculum of the school or are recreational reading. High School Libraries have a much larger selection of books written for young adults than any other type of library. Reference materials are also selected specifically for young adult readers. | Special Library |
Special Libraries are used by newspapers, manufacturing companies, television studios, research labs, magazine publishers, and more. Newspapers keep back issues and lots of reference books. Well, you get the idea. |

Librarians that work in School Libraries in California are called Teacher Librarians. A Teacher Librarian has a Bachelor's Degree, a California Teaching Credential, and a 2nd credential called a Teacher Librarian Credential. Most School Teacher Librarians also have a Master's Degree. The Teacher Librarian is a member of the high school faculty and their classroom is the Library Media Center. Eastside High School does not have a Teacher Librarian.

The Library Media Technician is a paraprofessional that provides support for the everyday operations of the Library Media Center. Some of the many things they do are schedule classes into the library, help students to find favorite books and use the research programs, and help answer questions about the library. |

to Scott Cadenhead. Since Eastside High School is a new school, there is no Textbook Clerk on staff at this time. The Library Textbook Clerk is the person who is most responsible for taking care of the thousands of textbooks that are checked out each semester. They also help the Library Media Technician so that the Library Media Center can be open all day. |
