Abstract

Školska knjižnica bi za djecu trebala predstavljati sigurno i ugodno mjesto na kojem mogu pronaći pomoć u učenju, ali i odmak od svakodnevnih obaveza. To se mjesto s pravom zove „srce“ škole, dnevni boravak škole, no to ovisi o više faktora. Prvenstveno je tu važan angažman školskog knjižničara i uključenosti u rad učenika kroz suradnje s profesorima i učiteljima, a onda i s vanjskim suradnicima (knjižničarima u gradskim knjižnicama, književnicima, kazalištima...). U ovom radu potkrijepila sam tvrdnju da bez potpore i uključenosti školskog knjižničara ne možemo vratiti djeci ljubav prema knjigama, čitanju i shvaćanju kako je čitanje temelj za sve buduće životne događaje: od pisanja školskih sastavaka, prepričavanja, razgovora s ljudima, razgovora za posao, sposobnost izražavanja u poslovnom okruženju i sl. Svaka pročitana knjiga proširuje naš vokabular i čini nas bogatijima za nove riječi, spoznaje i vidike, učimo kritički promišljati. Školska knjižnica nije sinonim za lektiru, kao što ni školski knjižničar ne bi trebao biti netko tko nije zainteresiran za interakciju s djecom. Dobro znamo da živimo u vremenu moderne tehnologije, no knjižnica se vrlo lako i na taj način može približiti djeci, pokazati im kako tome pristupiti na pravi način, podržati novi način pristupa informacijama, ali i ukazati im na vrijednost pročitanih knjiga.

Abstract (english)

School library should represent a safe and comfortable place for children where they can find assistance in studying, as well as distance from everyday obligations. That place is rightly called “the heart” of school, school living room, but that depends on several factors. What matters here, in the first place, is the engagement of the school librarian and their inclusion in the work of students through collaboration with their teachers, and then with external collaborators, too (librarians in the city libraries, writers, theatres...). In this paper, I have substantiated the claim that, without support and inclusion of a school librarian, we cannot bring back to our children love for books, reading, and understanding how reading is a foundation for all future events: from developing school essays, retelling, conversation with other people to job interviewing, ability of expressing oneself in a business environment, and alike. Every book read expands our vocabulary and makes us richer in new words, comprehension, and views, and we learn critical thinking. School library is not a synonym for school reading only, just as a school librarian should not be a person not interested in interaction with children. We know well that we live in a time of modern technology but library can easily get closer to children in that way, too. Library can show them how to access that technology in the right way, support new way of their accessing information, as well as point out the values of the books read.
