基于BBTL计划的美国公共图书馆学前教育管窥

Discussion on Preschool Education in American Public Libraries Based on BBTL Program

美国公共图书馆在学前教育方面的研究与实践一直走在国际前列,通过分析纳什维尔公共图书馆持续进行的Bringing Books to Life(BBTL)计划,探讨其在学前教育中面向不同服务对象提供的服务内容与服务特点,结合目前我国图书馆学前教育的不足,给出相应建议:完善儿童馆员培养体系;丰富馆藏资源建设与馆设布局;以图书馆为媒介,形成"幼儿园-图书馆-家庭"一体化;有效联合社会机构与公益组织,定期举办中华优秀传统文化活动等。

The research and practice of preschool education in American public libraries have always been the leader of the world.Bringing Books to Life(BBTL)is a preschool literacy program created by the Nashville Public Library together with early childhood educators.The content and characteristics of preschool education for different service objects are studied to propose suggestions based on current status and shortcomings of preschool education in China.The suggestions include:improving professional librarian training system,enriching collections and library space;forming a connection of kindergarten-library-home;and developing excellent Chinese traditional cultural programs with social situations and non-profit organizations.
