NCES has published a history and provided descriptive data about public school libraries since 1953. Along with key characteristics of school libraries, the report presents national and regional standards, and federal legislation affecting school library media centers. Data from sample surveys are presented at the national, regional, and school levels, and by state.
This report is divided into four sections that present categories of historical data about public school library media centers. In the order shown in the report, the categories are as follows:
· national-level data;

· school-level data; and
· state-level data.”
