Many parents may have received two books given to their babies by the public library, listened to parents' lectures organized by the library, participated in activities organized by the library to tell stories to their babies, and borrowed books from the children's reading area. But you may not know that the baby reading resources in public libraries are very poor at first.
? Until 2009, the Ministry of Education allocated funds to county and city libraries to carry out reading space transformation and reading promotion activities for infants aged 0 to 3, and put resources into baby reading that was not valued by libraries in the past, so that the baby reading space and collection were improved. As for how to use these resources after investment? How to promote it? Anyone familiar with the field of children's reading will mention Zeng.
Zeng Shuxian, who is currently the director of the National Library and has been the director of the Taipei Municipal Library for eleven years, transformed the library from a K-book center to an important town to promote parent-child reading and family-friendly reading during his tenure as the director of the municipal library.
"I used to be almost a person who gave new life to children's reading in the map of the North City." Ke Hua Qian, who specializes in children's literature and philosophy, was deeply impressed. 1998 When she returned to China, she went to find a map of Taipei. "The collection of children's books is terrible, and a researcher can't do anything in it. After taking office, children's reading space has been improved, the quality and quantity of books have been significantly improved, and parents are gradually willing to take their babies into the library.
As a judge of the Taipei City Map "Good Book for Everyone to Read" Award and an observation by Ke, who has rich working experience, the team he once led has two characteristics: professionalism and rigor. For professional reasons, Zeng Shuxian spent a lot of time to understand the spirit behind everything; Because of her rigor, she never "finishes" her work, but also "does it well".
