Understanding School LibraryLibrary has actually been around a long time, namely since the ancient Babylonians, but that meant the library at that time
certainly not complete and perfect handling as in this day and age. If the terms of the understanding, the library in the opinion in his book entitled Sulistyo periodization Library Indonesia stated:Library comes from the word library means a book or books. In English library called library. As a form of further development of this word in everyday life often known designation Bible or the Book, as such term is always diimitkan library with a book or a book. It is not surprising that the library definitions that often arises from the concept of linkage library with books that the library is a room, section or sub-section of a building or the building itself which is used to store books (1994: 1).
From the definition library above shows that the library is a room or a building that functions for the collection of reading books. Muljani, A. in his library and Development in Indonesia gave a more simple understanding that: "The library is in the form of a work unit to collect, store, and maintain a collection of books and library materials that are managed systematically set a certain way remedy used continuously by the wearer as a source of information "(1993: 4).b. Library destinationIn general, limited use of the school library that students with teachers and school employees concerned, supposing there are other parties wearer it is so relatively little because each school in general has had its own library.As known per se in the school library materials stored information if used very beneficial for users.

The Library is a unit of work, which means that the management should be carried out by a special officer to handle the library in order to run properly.2. As a second element of the library is a place to collect, menyimpanb and maintain library collections.

The library is a source of information, as the third element, the library as a source of information on library materials, ie, by reading the book if it exists notably print, the information can also be obtained through the tape or slide or photograph.On the basis of the three terms in the library of the school library on the understanding it can be concluded that a working unit in the form of a collection, deliver and maintain library materials continuously managed by students and teachers as well as other community resources that are in the school environment.So the goal of the school library is to enhance absorption of the ability of students in the educational process as well as expand the horizon of knowledge of teachers and employees, which means wherever possible provision of school libraries are library materials that can support the curriculum. In the fact that in terms of the number of hours of lessons are available for each subject is relatively short so that teachers in teaching and learning can only convey the subject matter that points only, because teachers may not be able to deliver the material in a short time. If the teachers in a short time can provide extensive material but on the part of students may not be able to receive comprehensive and subject matter in a perfect manner. Therefore, by organizing library materials that support the curriculum, students and teachers can expand the subject matter in accordance with desired by the curriculum.c. School Library FunctionsThe rapid development of science and technology in all fields nowadays make people aware, that the school is not confined to train students memorize the memory of the subject matter.
