In recent years, interest in International Librarianship has grown
rapidly and will continue to grow as globalization influences
education and librarianship. In countries around the world, public
and school libraries have unique roles and their staffs collaborate
across types of libraries to varying degrees. Library staff
preparation, training, and ongoing learning and organization of
youth-serving librarians mirror each country s values and
priorities. The essays in Youth-Serving Libraries in Japan, Russia,
and the United States address the universal and culture-specific
aspects of library services to children and teens in these three
countries. This collection shows how libraries have developed in
light of each country s political, educational, and social history.
They examine how government and citizen roles in youth-serving
libraries also reflect culturally defined social structures. The
chapters highlight unique collections and services within each
country and also show how librarians deal with the challenges they
encounter, both from within their culture as well as from outside
including natural disasters. Each country s authors discuss
contemporary issues that face youth-serving libraries, such as
information literacy, reading in a multimedia world, and the
overarching influence of technology. This book will be of interest
to youth-serving librarians around the world, library educators,
and for those studying international and young adult
librarianship."
