Abstract

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je istražiti prisutnost i obilježja radionica poticanja čitanja s naglaskom na one koje se provode u narodnim knjižnicama Primorsko-goranske županije. U teorijskom dijelu rada prikazat će se međunarodni i domaći knjižničarski dokumenti koji pridonose uspostavljanju knjižničnih usluga za djecu i mlade kako općenito tako i u dijelu koji se odnosi na poticanje čitanja. Istraživanje u radu će biti provedeno metodom ankete. Ispitat će se voditelji radionica poticanja čitanja u narodnim knjižnicama Primorsko-goranske županije s ciljem saznanja kriterija prema kojima se radionice mogu poboljšavati i bolje prilagođavati djeci i mladima, prema njihovim željama i samom uzrastu, kao i provođenje analize knjižnične građe koju djeca i mladi najviše posuđuju.The aim of this master's thesis is to investigate the presence and characteristics of reading encouragement workshops with a focus on those conducted in public libraries of the Primorje-Gorski kotar County.
