Vsaka šola ima šolsko knjižnico in njeno poslanstvo je med drugim tudi spodbujanje branja in skrb za bralno kulturo vsakega posameznega uporabnika in šole kot celote. Vendar je veliko dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na uspešnost tega poslanstva šolske knjižnice. Za motivacijo za branje in razvijanje bralne kulture mora šolska knjižnica zagotoviti ustrezno gradivo, šolski knjižničar mora posredovati in poučevati knjižnične vsebine osmišljeno in v povezavi s predmetnimi vsebinami. Šolska knjižnica pouk obogati, svoje uporabnike pa usposobi za samostojne bralce in uporabnike informacij. V projektu OBJEM je bil oblikovan osnutek modela posodobljene šolske knjižnice, ki v ospredje postavlja integriranost knjižničnih vsebin v vzgojno-izobraževalni proces. Model določa, da morajo biti najprej zagotovljeni osnovni pogoji za delovanje (delovni pogoji, knjižničar in strategija razvoja), nato sledijo ustrezni načini delovanja knjižničarja in knjižnice (interaktivna, dostopna in integrirana) in ko so izpolnjeni prejšnji pogoji, bodo izidi knjižničarja in knjižnice takšni, da bo kakovostna šolska knjižnica pomembna in priljubljena ter tudi učinkovita. Pri motivaciji za branje in pri razvijanju bralne kulture je pomembno, da imamo na voljo dovolj raznovrstnega in raznolikega gradiva, ki ga bralec izbere glede na svoje potrebe in zmožnosti. Predvsem pa ne smemo pozabiti na zgled, ki je najbolj učinkovito učenje.
Abstract
Role of School Libraries in Promoting Reading Culture
Every school has a school library, whose mission is, among other things, to promote reading and to nurture a culture of reading for each user and the school as a whole. However, many factors influence the success of this mission: the school library must provide appropriate materials, and the school librarian must deliver and teach library content meaningfully and in relation to the subject content. The school library enriches the curriculum and empowers its members to become independent readers and information users. The OBJEM project has developed a draft model for a modernised school library, which puts the integration of library content into the educational process at its core. The model stipulates that to begin with, the necessary conditions to function (working conditions, librarian and development strategy) must be in place, followed by appropriate ways of working for the librarian and the library (interactive, accessible and integrated). Once these criteria are met, the outcomes for the librarian and the library will be such that a quality school library will be relevant, popular, and effective. In motivating reading and developing a reading culture, it is a prerequisite to have a sufficient variety and diversity of materials available for readers to choose from according to their needs and abilities. Above all, we must not forget that example is the most effective way of learning.
