- W229138182 abstract "Library based reading groups for young people encourage voluntary reading and promote the libraries. Libraries are ideal places for them as they provide a friendly, familiar space and access to a wide variety of materials that can be incorporated into a session. Revision of an article published in Newslib November 1999 p19-22 Reading groups for young people based in libraries encourage and promote voluntary reading and the library habit. Libraries are ideal places to hold reading groups as they provide a friendly, familiar space and access to a wide variety of materials that can be incorporated into a session, including stories and information books, magazines, videos, dvds, cds, story cassettes and cdroms. Reading groups in libraries exist in a variety of formats, from clubs that young people attend on their own or with friends, to groups where parents and carers are encouraged to participate in the session. Because of the different age and ability levels of young people, reading groups have been developed to meet the needs of both children and teenagers. Groups for children are usually directed at 6-11 year olds. It is at this level that reading groups are most suited to including other family members such as parents, grandparents or carers. Children's reading groups that involve adult family members are commonly known as family reading groups. There are also reading or advisory groups designed to attract 12-16 year olds, often referred to as teenage reading or teenage advisory groups. Family reading groups The concept of a family reading group was developed by the London Borough of Southwark Library Service during the mid 90s in a general move to enhance children's library experiences but specifically to explore ways of involving parents in their children's reading development. Simply put, family reading groups are a regular forum for young people, their parents, carers, family and friends, and librarians to talk about books that they have read or listened to and enjoyed. Family reading groups also * encourage and promote voluntary reading and the library habit * support literacy development within the family * widen young people's and adults' experiences of children's books * develop young people's confidence in speaking to an audience * encourage use of the library by those who would not normally do so * enhance the library experience for those who already use the service * provide a focus for close liaison and consultation between librarians, young people and their parents and carers Structure and format One of the most important features of a family reading group is its seeming informality. Families arrive at a designated time, and are greeted by the librarian, offered refreshments and given time to browse a display of library materials whilst chatting with friends and family. During this time the librarian talks to group members about materials that they have used since the last meeting and recommends new materials from the current display. After about half an hour, participants are encouraged to bring themselves and their `good reads' over and sit down in a circle of chairs. When people are seated the librarian greets the group and disseminates information about upcoming events or activities that might interest participants. Then the librarian initiates a discussion about materials that he or she has read or listened to recently. Sometimes other interested staff members also join the group and chat about their favourite reads. Children and parents are then encouraged to talk about materials that they have read or listened to since the last meeting. When each person has finished talking they put their recommended read into the middle of the circle for other people to select from at the end of the meeting. The forum can include other activities such as quizzes, guest speakers, performances from participants. …" @default.
