A school library, or school media center, is a library within a school where students, staff, and sometimes parents can borrow a variety of print and digital resources. The goal of a school library or media center is to ensure that all members of the school community have equitable access to materials for information gathering.
School libraries are distinct from public libraries because they serve the school's curriculum and are centered around providing school-related materials.
