I want to know whether school Library is a type of academic library ?
As per my knowledge, School library is somehow different from College or University library. The main objectives of a school library is to grow reading habit. Like College and University library, it doesn't help the students in their study purposes. So upto higher middle class schools, it may be academic, but lower division school libraries isn't academic.

The school library is an academic library. The main objective of the school library to promote the reading habit and support thge teaching learning process of the parent body. The school library provides various services like circulation, reference, organise quizes, debates, essays, story hours, spot writings. career and guidance counceling etc to the students. so my dear how can you say that school library does not support to the students in thier studies?
