Abstract

There is currently no full length study published that details the history of school libraries at a national level. The lack of a comprehensive history presents numerous challenges for understanding the foundations of school libraries, their development throughout the 20th century, and their future. In this piece I present a brief history of school libraries in Australia which forms part of my PhD research.
