In districts remote from any branch library, the Depart- 
ment of Work with Schools does pioneer library work. A 
school is selected which is fairly accessible to the community. 
A permit to use the school quarters is secured, and library 
service is given during certain hours of the week, both to 
children of the school and to adults of the community, by a 
member of the Department of Work with Schools staff. 
There are, at present, seven such school deposit stations in 
the public schools: at the American Avenue School, Crescent 
School, Brookline School, Sunnyside and Morningside 
Schools, Ralston Elementary and Industrial School, and at 
the Penn School, and one parochial school. 
Each year in May, a week is set aside which is known as 
Library Week in the Schools. At this time, teacher and librar- 
‘an concentrate on how they can improve service between the 
two educational agencies. A different phase of book interest 
:s stressed each year. 
The Carnegie Library School, formerly known as the 
[raining School for Children’s Librarians, was founded in 
(901. It was conducted as a department of the Carnegie 
Library of Pittsburgh until 1916. At that time it was made 
a separate department of the Carnegie Institute and the 
aame officially changed to the one now in use. The Carnegie 
Library School was the first library school to give specialized 
training in library work with children and it is still particu- 
larly well known for its service in that field. Two other 
courses are at present included in the curriculum, general 
ibrary work and library work with schools. The course is 
one year in length and students may specialize in the particu- 
ar type of library work in which they are most interested. 
Candidates for admission who are graduates of uni- 
versities and colleges with a recognized high standard may 
be admitted without examination, if they possess the neces- 
sary personal qualifications for library work. Other candi- 
dates must present evidence of general education and 
experience sufficient to qualify them for the work of the 
course and must pass the required entrance examinations. 
Three years of college work or its equivalent is desirable. 
The rapid development of library work has created a 
demand for trained librarians which it has not been possible
