Reflections from Parag Library unConference 2017
This report summarises the 2017 annual children’s library unConference and key takeaways.
How libraries impact different stakeholders
The schools libraries set up by Parag in Gurmitkal block of Karnataka have impacted not just students, but built the skills of the library facilitators and established the library as an integral part of school education.
Book extension activities engage children and motivate reading in Yadgir
Carefully designed book extension activities in libraries play a key role in engaging both readers and non-readers. Activities introduce new books and genres, open up discussion and motivate children to reflect on their reading.
The Parag libraries in Yadgir district of Karnataka are inviting community into the libraries and making it an inclusive space.
Reimagining Libraries and Library Educators
Parag’s Library Educators’ Course (LEC) imagines the library as an open and vibrant space, where children build a relationship with books and reading. LEC enables alumni to strengthen their library practice and make changes that will impact children’s reading experiences positively.
Evolving a library resource support group
This study conducted by Vidya Bhawan Society looked at setting up a library resource support group after discussion with selected organisations doing library work. The aim was to understand the different means in which a resource group could support librarians and library activities and bring libraries to the forefront of school education.
Spreading the joy of reading during the Pandemic
Amidst the nationwide lock downs in the country, the approach to children’s learning and particularly of those from the marginalized sections has been affected. More than academics the social and emotional well-being of children need to be taken care of at this time. And what better way than stories that children can read, hear and watch to escape from everyday troubles and worries.
