Abstract: Mel Rainey’s article gives his findings from a survey of Fiji primary school libraries, and several reasons for the present state of libraries in these schools. This follows two earlier surveys of secondary school libraries (reported on by Rainey in Directions 2 1996.) The picture is not a bright one, and reflects the common attitude that many schools are narrowly exam oriented and do not consider libraries useful enough to justify the necessary expenditure. The benefits of a well-stocked library, or resource centre, do not need to be repeated here; it is hoped that the article will remind readers who are in a position to take some action of this often-neglected aspect of education.

Abstract: The author addresses an often neglected and/or underrated area by reporting on a survey of libraries and of principals in Fiji schools, aimed at identifying ways of improving this crucial learning resource centre. His findings and recommendations have region-wide interest and could well be noted for improving the component of the learning-teaching matrix.
