' The public library for young people: a Swedish version of '. Britt -Marie - Ingden Ringsell, head of the Youth Library of Sweden, talked about the cooperation with the teenagers who carry out their own projects and take part in the work, along with librarians. ' It is important that the target audience brought his ideas, but just as important that they get the experience of this work '.
In this library, teens are a group of role-playing games, writers club, group, which tell tales (and later in the translation sounded like ' taught to tell stories (fairy tales )'). Moreover, it was possible to invite the authors, who would pay the same, but the choice was made for the benefit of young people. ... We do not have to rely on the idealism of young. They need to pay or otherwise compensate for their job '.
In order to work with young people, you do not have to be young, it is important to be educated and m. n. , It is important to have a correct attitude to the young. In order to build relationships with young people - it takes time. The ability to build these relationships need to provide the most appropriate of the library staff.
On the involvement of young people in the library was discussed in the presentation. About. In. Sinitsyna ' Youth policy and special programs for young people in the libraries of the UK '. Our problems today are very similar - a strong reduction in funding and the threat of closure.
I was caught in a conversation about British libraries that want to make happy reading (' books and reading as a source of joy, knowledge and self-knowledge ', ' interesting events, inspirational reading ').
Priorities libraries can take us to adopt:.
Currently co-operation and involvement of youth in improving library services;.
the possibility of volunteer work (not only the development of professional skills and participate in programs to promote reading for children, volunteer develops adolescent self-confidence, a sense of usefulness );.
specially designed space for young people, youth -friendly culture;.
attractiveness and accessibility ( location, hours of work, procedures ) and m. Dr..
(By the way, about the library hours and started a conversation before, during debate. The question was asked - for whom the library works, if it closes at 7:00? . But if you REALLY consider the library as a place for young people, then start talking about the extension of working hours needed libraries ).
From the experience of the British Library can be found many interesting. Take a look for yourself, for example, impressions of the library internships. here. and. here.
Discussed in the presentation and about the ' third place ' (. reference. ' Third place ' - part of the urban space that is neither home nor work. Third place - a space in the city for education, business meetings and work. There is Wi-Fi, properly organized space, just to get here. ).
... At home he is at work to, and not enough just this, where you want to be - just to meet, work, think, write. Library by its nature is intended for people who are not in the school who are able and willing to think themselves. Library is now increasingly becoming a platform for communication, a place where you can talk on any subject - beyond time and space '-. thinks so. About. Sinitsyn.
