AB - This article provides a history of the development of school libraires in the Republic of Korea. Numerous efforts have been made to establish and improve school libraries since national independence in 1945. Although a library law has been announced four times since 1963 and although official school library standards were developed in 1967 and 1981, school libraries in Korea are not well developed.  Lack of government support and limitations in the perceptions of the function of school libraries in education have been the main factors hindering school library development.
