Children's Services of Public Libraries in the United States.

Richardson, Selma K.

International Library Review, v19 n1 p15-24 Jan 1987

Arguing that local governments exercise control over public library services within their jurisdictions, this report summarizes the range of services and collections provided for Illinois children as identified by a 1977 survey of the state's public libraries. Additional children's services and programs in other U.S. public libraries are briefly noted. (CLB)
