Biblioteki szkolne gimnazjów lwowskich w okresie międzywojennym
School libraries of lower secondary schools in Lviv during the interwar period

Summary/Abstract: School libraries in Lviv gymnasiums were treated as an important element of scientific collections and had important didactic functions – as a source of knowledge and a tool for educational influence. Separate libraries for teachers and students existed. The latter were sometimes divided by language (e.g. German, Ukrainian library) or specificity of collections (e.g. library of school textbooks, notes for choral singing). In addition to books, schools also subscribed to numerous magazines for teachers and junior high school students, which were made available in the reading rooms of some libraries. The Lviv gymnasiums acquired an impressive collection of scientific, popular and literature books. The state of student readership was very good.
