SHSLGC consists of scholars of Library and Information Science Education, educational administrators, and selected high school library directors. The SHSGC Team started consulting jobs by selecting high school libraries as demonstrative models in different regions of the Island, conducting library symposiums, having published “The Handbook for Senior High School Libraries”, hosting forums for high school principals and chief librarians, establishing professional courses for chief librarians, and paying on-site visits to high school libraries around the Island.

Despite the fact that South Africa has been a democracy for 23 years and the efforts made to improve the education landscape, there is still a crisis in the high school library system. This affects the school careers of learners and their lifelong-learning opportunities. The lack and loss of school libraries, as resources for education, deprive learners of their right to a school library and a place to grow mentally and academically. This chapter advocates for libraries in high schools. The study adopted a qualitative approach where primary data was collected through a multiple case study, using in-depth interviews at three schools in the Gauteng Province. School A was a rural high school; school B was a former model-C high school; and school C a township high school. The key findings underscore the importance of libraries in the academic success of learners. Recommendations are made on how advocacy for libraries in high schools could be re-directed.

In this article, we try to investigate the community high schools project policies implemented by current educational units in Taiwan through document analysis and questionnaire survey methods. We also investigate what role the school library should play and what jobs the school library should promote in the point of view of a director of library in a senior high school. We try to conclude operation items which meet the spirits of government’s policies. In the mean time, based on a thinking that the school library should participate in local cultural activities aggressively, we try to investigate further, when the availability of school is extended into local community, what would be the possible cooperative contents and ways between school library and the local community? The research result is going to be used as a reference for future development and operation of school library in senior high school and vocational high school.
