[Sigiii-l] [InfoInternational] THE MODEL CHILDREN'S LIBRARY

[Hester vanderWalt]

THE MODEL CHILDREN'S LIBRARY
 
The UK has a tremendous history of providing high quality, innovative
library services for children and young people. To celebrate this and
to
share ideas with colleagues internationally, IFLA 2002 in Glasgow will
house
a model children's library as part of the main conference exhibition
area.

This is only the second time in the 75 year history of IFLA conferences
that
this has been attempted. The library is being planned by the Youth
Libraries
Group, in collaboration with IFLA's Children's, School and Reading
Groups,
The British Council and the City of Glasgow.

The model children's library, through imaginative layout and design,
will
showcase high quality books from the UK, the latest IT programmes and
the
British Council's touring Magic Pencil Exhibition, representing the
work of
13 illustrators/authors. It will celebrate the diversity of young
people's
needs and demonstrate how libraries deliver knowledge, information and
culture to children. It will also offer storytelling and reader
development
activities to local children as well as to delegates and will be a
focus for
high level discussion for people from throughout the world interested
in
working with children.
