ABSTRACT

Library programming is one of the most important elements through which public libraries offer support for parents and families. Well-designed programming focused on implementing research findings can provide structured opportunities for socialization, education, and emotional support within families and among communities. Although family storytimes and book programs are fairly common in U.S. public libraries, fewer libraries offer programming to assist families in navigating the changing landscapes of digital media. In this article, we connect a research-based framework to the development of library programming based on projected social and learning outcomes. We recommend several types of programming models based on the framework for the development of a more intentional design of libraries and programming to support families and children.

摘要

图书馆规划是公共图书馆为父母和家庭提供支持的最重要元素之一。专注于实施研究成果的精心设计的计划可以为家庭和社区之间的社会化、教育和情感支持提供结构化的机会。尽管家庭故事时间和图书计划在美国公共图书馆中相当普遍，但很少有图书馆提供计划来帮助家庭驾驭不断变化的数字媒体环境。在本文中，我们将基于研究的框架与基于预测的社会和学习成果的图书馆编程开发联系起来。我们推荐了几种基于框架的编程模型，用于开发更有针对性的图书馆设计和编程，以支持家庭和儿童。
