Book Synopsis Reading Groups, Libraries and Social Inclusion by : Dr Eileen Hyder
Download or read book Reading Groups, Libraries and Social Inclusion written by Dr Eileen Hyder and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading groups have grown rapidly in popularity and continue to be a significant cultural phenomenon. Reading groups in public libraries, linked to the learning and social inclusion agenda, have expanded to include a wide range of groups within society, including people with visual impairments (VIPs). This under-researched area is the focus of this book. Library-based VIP reading groups are interesting on many levels. Given that these groups predominantly use audio versions of the text (rather than print), this links to debates about the changing nature of reading in a multi-modal age. This book discusses whether contemporary society still defines reading as a visual activity or whether technological developments have led to a broadening of the definition of reading. The author goes on to discuss how policy is translated into practice within the library context and whether the wide range of reading groups linked to libraries suggests that libraries understand and are taking the social inclusion agenda seriously. She also explores how effectively libraries are using reading groups as a tool for delivering on the agenda for learning and how this sits within wider priorities for post-compulsory education and lifelong learning. Finally the book suggests ideas for future development for these groups, outlining ways in which their potential could be maximised for the benefit of both the library and the reading group members. The book will be of great interest to professional librarians as well as students and scholars of librarianship. It will also be of interest to those working on the emerging field of reading groups in literary studies. Those interested in the role of reading in education, as well as disability scholars, will also find the book useful.

Download or read book Library Work With the Blind (Classic Reprint) written by Mary C. Chamberlain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Library Work With the Blind The New York State Library for the Blind was founded in March 1896. It was the first of the five state libraries which now have departments for the blind and has the third largest collection of books for the blind in the country. In 1896 the Detroit Public Library placed 110 volumes on its shelves. The reading-room for the blind in the Library of Congress was opened in 1897. The librarian's report for that year states that in a library of a national character and reopening under improved conditions it was deemed wise to make some pro vision for the blind. The library was therefore started with a good collection of books and music which had come to it mainly through the operation of the copyright laws. These were the pioneers in the library work for the blind. There are now between 60 and 70 libraries owning and circulating embossed type books. The names of these libraries are given in the report of the Committee on Work for the Blind of the American Library Association to the Berkeley meeting in 1915.
