The distinction between a book and a reference book can be confusing. Some books that you might "reference" are still considered "books" for the purposes of citationReference books are used to find factual information on a subject, and are not usually read all the way through or chapter by chapter. In a K-12 library, reference books are usually located in a special reference collection area, and cannot be checked out. Reference books include dictionaries, encyclopedias, thesauri, almanacs, atlases, and directories.

i know that but sir those books they are not covered syllabus just a story book or just like other book that contains general information 

our higher authorities demand report of how many  text book, reference books & Reference Sources

sorry sir my English is not good So u understand what i say 

in school library

 text book-  ncert & subject related book

refrence book-  dictionary (all type) , encyclopeadia (A , B , C)

Text book: Cover all the syllabus of formal education (formal education: wish to get a degree or certificate form an institute or university)

Reference book: Brief knowledge of subject (like encyclopedia of library and information science) or universe of knowledge (like encyclopedia of Britannica)

Text Books : Text books are the information containers where information is embodied in an organized form, i.e, arranged in its simplest to complex form. Complexity increases chapter to chapter. Text books are also meant to go through cover to cover, information usually been indicated by index at the end while reference books a re not meat to go through cover to cover, each block of information is self contained with out having any affinity to its penumbral region. Usually used for supporting current approach, everyday approach and in some cases exhaustive approach of the user. 

Textbooks: A textbook is a book of instruction .its primary aim is not to impart inforamtion about a specific subject but to enable one to develop proper understanding of the subject.

             A good textbook take into consideration the  method of teaching and level of readership. It is revised keeping in view new developments and changing methodology of teaching .There is a difference of opinion aout the place of textbooks as tertiary sources.

                  Reference books,which contain the desired information itself are considered secondary sources of information. these include encyclopedias,dictionaries, yearbooks, directories, bibliographies handbooks, table,formularies etc.The form an important part of secondary sources information.These are sources of ready reference,These are compiled so that everybody information can provided readily:
