The Service is administered at two levels through a Central Library Board and a local Library Committee in each Parish. The Jamaica Library Board is the central Statutory Body responsible for the Island policy and the management and control of a coordinated library service. 106 Schools, inaccessible to the bookmobile, are served by delivery van. Secondary Schools are also visited by van for book deliveries and the establishment or maintenance of the library.
Collections are permanent, and are catalogued and classified from headqnarters.
The Secondary Schools Programme is administered from the Headquarters in Kingston. The number of books supplied to schools is based on the enrollment of the school and the acconimodation available - e.g. library room or cupboard. A teacher is responsible for the collection at each school. Teachers and senior pupils select books from the Bookmobile with the help and advice of the Bookmobile Librarian. If necessary, teachers may visit the Regional Headquarters to do their selection.
