This article outlines the current situation of German school libraries within the German library system. While on the whole this system functions extremely efficiently, school libraries in particular would seem to suffer from considerable neglect. On the one hand there are too few of them, and on the other a failure to recognize their needs has resulted in wholly inadequate levels of funding, facilities, staffing and resource provision.
