sba Frankfurt/Main - A Competence Center for School Libraries

Innovative and Efficient Support in Close Cooperation with Librarians, Teachers and Volunteers

Abstract

In Germany the cooperation between libraries and schools is becoming ever more important – also in the context of full-day school care. There are a growing number of cooperation agreements between libraries and schools. Due to Germany’s federal structures and because of the lack of a legal framework, this development is not standardized. Frankfurt/Main is one of the few German cities which have professionally supported school library work for a long time. Professional school library work has been part of the Public Library Frankfurt/Main’s portfolio for more than 30 years.
