Discover new approaches for extending children's library services
beyond the library building and learn how to utilize technology to
bring learning to children wherever they may be. The ways in which
we communicate, learn, and interact have changed drastically in the
last decade, and this worldwide revolution applies to the youngest
members of society as well. Today's books and learning materials
are being presented and used in new and different ways. From the
toddler's first boardbooks to the young teen's conversations on
Facebook, children are interacting with print and media rather than
passively listening or viewing. Libraries can contribute to this
interactive world by inviting children to take an active role in
their library collection and library service experiences. This book
examines the impact of new technologies on children's experiences
of books and libraries, and demonstrates how librarians can adapt
to new technologies and integrate library services into the lives
of today's children. From Boardbook to Facebook: Children's
Services in an Interactive Age draws on current research to
illuminate how children's use of media has changed in recent years
and suggests ways in which new technologies can be integrated into
library services now and in the future. Illustrations present
examples of websites for children's departments and pictures of
children's departments A bibliography provides references and
suggested information sources
