THE 2—WAY EFFECT OF HAVING A POOR LIBRARY SERVICE By Microwarelab Research Study 1 THE COMMON PROBLEMS OF PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARIES
Public school library has always a poor research materials and always limited by storage space Public school library allocates large sums of money paying for additional book preservation & periodic updates Due to lack of maintenance, the books in public school library is easily wear out and the type of paper used is easily destroyed by termites, by time resulting to missing pages The damaged books cannot be re-printed or duplicated because there is no original file. This is the problem especially the Higher Education and Department of Education requires textbook has a 5 years usable content. Poor organization and classification by titles The farthest towns have always poor library
