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
