Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the principles of collecting collections for public libraries for children and youth and school libraries. The qualitative analysis was based on the list of titles of books that were planned to buy 44 school libraries in 2014 as part of the government subsidy. The collected material is divided into the following categories: school reading, literature classics for children, poetry, fairy tales, books for children, Grzegorz Kasdepke's books, literature for children, literature, fantasy, educational books, history and biographies, and others. Most often libraries planned to buy school books, educational books (dictionaries, encyclopedias). From the literature, it was usually planned to buy fantasy books, novels for girls and works by authors such as Paweł Beręsewicz, Marcin Pałasz, Barbara Gawryluk, Renata Piątkowska, Małgorzata Strzałkowska. It was also planned to buy books that were screened and advertised in youth magazines. The analysis shows that the collections of school libraries and public libraries for children and youth respond to the reading needs of this group of recipients.
