Abstract:

Against the backdrop of the prevailing examination-oriented education and backward rural education, the function of school library, especially in terms of its educating function, is greatly neglected. Many school libraries are faced with the problems such as the insufficient funding, old equipment, and low utilization rate. The flourishing non-governmental libraries might make up the insufficiency of school libraries in this regard. Taking the Stars Public Library for example, this paper explores the nongovernmental libraries’ support for school libraries.

Key words: School library, Non-governmental library, Stars Public library
