About

Library Services for Young People is a blog being developed to highlight examples of public libraries’ work with children and teenagers and to facilitate discussion on the topic by library staff and interested parties.

The blog also aims to be your first stop for information on services to young people through public libraries in Ireland.

The blog is being developed and maintained by An Chomhairle Leabharlanna in consultation with the Working Group on Library Services to Children and Young People.

The Working Group on Library Services for Children and Young People shall, having regard to the research commissioned by the Office of the Minister for Children:

• assess the current provision of public library services for children and young people;
• make recommendations for future action, and
• draft guidelines for best practice in the provision by library authorities of services to children and young people.
