Activities in children's libraries

Abstract

ALL activities in children's libraries are designed to increase the use and knowledge of books, so that children will learn to read for enjoyment and so that books will help the child's development and education. Libraries are in a privileged position and their activities should be directed in such a way that they are not merely an extension of the school curriculum, nor only recreational. This can be achieved by other media not related to books or knowledge.
