+This chapter describes the NSPR API Thread Pools.
+
+.. note::
+
+ **Note:** This API is a preliminary version in NSPR 4.0 and is
+ subject to change.
+
+Thread pools create and manage threads to provide support for scheduling
+work (jobs) onto one or more threads. NSPR's thread pool is modeled on
+the thread pools described by David R. Butenhof in\ *Programming with
+POSIX Threads* (Addison-Wesley, 1997).
