Gakkyu Bunko (English) classroom library

Japanese: 学級文庫 - がっきゅうぶんこ（英語表記）classroom library

A collection set up in each classroom in a school, primarily an elementary school. These libraries originated from books brought in by students and teachers, or purchased with class fees, but materials are often stocked through group loans from public libraries and school libraries, and now they tend to function as branches of school libraries. They are particularly useful as an introduction to library use for lower grade elementary school students. They are run by the students' independent activities under the guidance of their homeroom teacher. [See also] Classroom Lending

学校，主として小学校の各教室に設けられるコレクション．児童生徒や教師などの図書の持ち寄りや学級費などによる図書購入などから発生した文庫であるが，公共図書館や学校図書館からの団体貸出によって資料がそろえられることが多くなり，現在は学校図書館の分館として機能する傾向がある．特に小学校低学年には図書館利用の導入として意義がある．運営は，担任教師の指導のもとに児童生徒の自主的活動に任せられる．[参照項目] 学級貸出
