Abstract
From a legal point of view, it is prescribed for school library to cooperate with other library and other institutions. At the beginning of school library activities, it was well known that public library helped the school library.
Here, we will take the case of Miyagi Public Library. The point to be worth notice in this library is that they have established the Inter-Library Liaison Conference, the members of which include the school librarians. The main purposes of it are to have practical training course, study of children's book and local history class. The second case is Osaka Municipal Library. They have unique cooperation system called “Children’s Book Selection Committee”.
I will suggest a tentative plan of a new cooperation system, that is “School Library Center.” The aim of this Center is to centralize some business of school library, for instance joint purchase, joint processing. Then each school library will have much time to spare for service.
