Literacy and Reading Programmes for Children and Young People: Case
Studies from Around the Globe presents interviews with over 40
librarians from around the world who tell of their library
programs. The volumes are arranged geographically with Volume 1
offering interviews from library professionals from the USA and
Europe, and with Volume 2 sharing programs from Asia, Africa,
Australia, and the Middle East. The volumes highlight the diversity
of the types of programs catering to the varying needs of children
and young adults throughout the world. Case studies featured in
this book outline the details of programs, events, and activities
provided by over 40 organizations in the context of social capital
and social inclusion. Each interview chapter discusses the
contributions made to literacy development and community building
of children and teens. With the many variations and examples of
best practice, librarians and educators can glean new ideas for
their own programs. The interviews reveal the challenges and issues
faced and the work being achieved in vastly different environments,
in many geographic areas, and in diverse economic, social, and
cultural contexts. The programs include those of national and state
libraries, public libraries, and mobile libraries carried out by
public libraries, NGOs, and commercial organizations in both
developed and developing countries. They also feature programs of
multicultural libraries, libraries for indigenous people, and
libraries for refugees. This publication complements the range of
initiatives and activities carried out by IFLA's Libraries for
Children and Young Adults Section that supports library services
and reading promotion initiatives catering to children and young
adults around the world. These volumes are rich in variety and will
provide much food for thought for creating unique and successful
library programs.
