The school media center, or the school library. The differences between public and school libraries are funding, location and audience. A public library serves, you guessed it, the public. Their audience is "everyone," including students. They may be located near a school or not, but usually are fairly accessible, and are funded by municipal appropriation.

A school library is located within a school, and can be the size of one classroom, several classrooms or even be a separate building. It's funded by the school district, and is aimed at students and teachers.
