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.

Of course. Why not?

 

Academic libraries are University Library, College Library, School Library, Upper Primary School Library, Lower primary School Library.
Since the School is associated with imparting academic educations like college or university. Therefore the library of same could be called Academic Library.  

Yes,

School Library is an academic library

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?

sir,

    Regarding School I am still confusing. and I have gone through some book where school library is mentioned as separate library. plz check the URL.
