A functional library at the protected area level covering the disciplines of environmental planning and protected area management is important despite the limited literature on the subject. Also, most information is concentrated on how to organize libraries within universities and school.

This manual covers a selection of topics dealing with the major aspects of establishing a protected area library service. It is meant to serve as reference for those entering the profession of librarianship and as the basis for reflection for more experienced librarians. Library school students may also use it as a preview of what they may expect to do in their future endeavors.
