Abstract: The Library School of the Los Angeles Public Library was established in 1891 as a training class of the Los Angeles Public
Library; from 1914 to 1934 it was conducted as a library school with a full curriculum involving between ten and fifteen courses
plus field work. In 1935 the library school became the purview of the University of Southern California-- an accredited library
school which closed fifty years later in 1985. The records in this small collection consist of several different versions
of library school applications and questionnaires from the days when the days when the library school was part of the Los
Angeles Public Library. There are perhaps over 100 completed applications covering the years from 1915 to 1931. Included
with the records are also two copies of the library school's "Circular of Information" for the 1931-1932 academic year.
