Children: the library users of the future

A practical course on successful public library provision for children.

The course explores:

• the role and value of children’s services
• children’s social, emotional and educational development
• policies and practices to help and support children and young people in libraries
• planning for effective service delivery.

Participants can expect to gain:

• more awareness of the current and future role of children’s services
• greater understanding of children’s and young people’s needs
• more insight into the inter-relationships between home, pre-school, school and library provision
• increased confidence when helping children, parents and carers
• extra strategies for promoting effective and continuing library use
• new ideas for exploiting library resources

Anne provides this training for individual library services and for regional library bodies, and always adapts it to local circumstances and needs.

Delegates on the course receive an extensive information pack.
