| Research Abstract |
In this study, the researcher tries to illustrate the establishment of the modern school library in the United States of America, especially the process of the theoretical development and the improvement of school library practices from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, by examining books and articles in the major journals/magazines in the education and library field. However, since there was a critical lack of documents and descriptions, it probably implies that it is impossible to seek the point of the theoretical establishment of the school library in the period between the end of the 19th century and early 20th century, which is the very early period of the school library history. Rather, in the early period, the movement of the establishment of the librarian profession along with the spread of the placement of school librarians, and the practices of the school library administration might take lead before the statements and theories arrive in the literature.
