A classroom library is a bookshelf in the class set up and stocked by the teacher of that class, usually so those students who finish work early have something quiet to do to kill time. Most of the classrooms I remember fondly as a kid had a selection of magazines along the same lines as you'd find in the average dentist's waiting room plus a mix of books based on the teacher's tastes. "The Way Things Work" was a recurring favorite of mine that popped up in a lot of classrooms through my first few years of school.
