"Family Reading at the public library"
Experience in Municipal Public Library 'Lic Carlos Rivera Aceves'
The relationship of the librarian for the promotion of reading, is similar to the figure of the informed reader, a constant reading enables him to understand and select texts as well as interest in spreading what you read, mainly collection available to the library.
Until now the reading has been promoted especially in educational institutions, libraries open an option and generate the possibility of a society with greater access to reading. If it makes sense to use the individual gets satisfaction or satisfy needs and weakens its meaning when its use is not appreciated advantages, material, intellectual, social or individuales.2
For public libraries the number of people who use them is scarce. The percentage of people who practice reading in libraries is low, the benefit is for few people who have acquired in the course of his life a culture of use. Users of public libraries in the country, are more school children, who have no orientation to reading, go to copy text from books and few read. Eventually be formed just a few readers.
The reading will be strengthened if it becomes a family pastime, where besides the children attend parents. Shared knowledge of reading, where adults "show children how to do", allows a coexistence and construction of knowledge that is helpful.
families remain as the core of procreation and socialization of new generations and, as such, become crucial as broadcast space opportunities and life prospects for their miembros.3
read from the status in the family, little is known, in most households make use of reading as an activity study and pastime, some people ensures acceptable levels of life despite the social disadvantages compared which do not have the habit of reading. Children attending primary school and secondary contact with books, like teenagers who attend high school or further education. Adults to provide books, heritage can be seen on the shelf of the living room. It is clear that participating families for long periods of time reading and rereading books and books. There
reading programs, family reading at the public library in the city of Bogotá, Colombia, by the organization Fundalectura, 4, and workshops which include reading family in Seville, Spain, promoted by the Ministry of Cultura.5
Given this precedent, on two occasions within the national program to promote reading "My Vacation in the Library" this year contemplated, issues relating to mathematics, the senses, the little prince, Cri-Cri, and personal anthology in the Public Library "Lic Carlos Rivera Aceves, Zapopan, Jalisco, invited parents, in order to make reading in the company of children.
was possible to form a group of about 20 people on average per day. During 5 weeks-long workshop, involving a total of 12 adults, 17 adolescents and 53 children. The dynamics that members enter and leave, did not affect the performance. As members became the promoters of the workshop to communicate to other families. ORGANIZATION
Prior to the workshop, librarians conduct research and select reading material, directed by the national program. And a selection of literary works of authors such as Rabindranath Tagore, Augusto Monterroso, Leo Tolstoy, among others, with the possibility that people could take these books home, and narrate during the sessions. Was also used to provide technical fictionalized films to be seen at home and then discussed in the workshop. DEVELOPMENT
The workshop was coordinated by the librarian. Established a period of 30 minutes per session, so that it will be accessible to people involved in reading. The session began with an introduction from the general theme. Sometimes distributed photocopies of readings to be read aloud by children and adults, while the rest read the leaves, with read or heard, allowed attendees to comment and reflect on the contents of the texts. Another activity
suggested that the group was to provide research tasks subjects, and exposure on an individual and between parents and children, which favored communication and teamwork.
was agreed to bring home books and films to be told by them during the workshop sessions, Mrs. Norma, with her daughter and niece, represented the story The Wizard of Oz, directed by Victor Fleming, through puppets drawings prepared by them, and Oscar Eduardo 12 years, recounted part of the story The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
We also ask children and adults who showed us a book they had at home, two girls said they usually read at night, books they give their parents and another child said she likes reading the newspaper and magazines that have at home.
In a family atmosphere, no deviation from the workshop, the emotional relationships were present, the parents entered the library loading, stuffed animals, backpacks and strollers, accompanying the children, nephews, neighbors and grandchildren, caring for adults the smallest and instructed to pay attention and participate.
In order that those attending the workshop made us know your comments on the promotion we do about reading, we developed the following question: How do you have to perform workshops intergenerational (family)? where we include in addition to children, parents and older siblings.
From the answers given, we see that although the resources to express between people do not vary much among themselves, express the need to live in the same space, and create necessary reading.
