A stand has been set up in the reading room of the rural library. Tips for decorating a children's library

Organization of library space in the central children's library of the municipal cultural institution "Centralized Library System" in the city of Baltiysk, Kaliningrad region. The comfort of the library beckons us: The lamp here burns so welcomingly. The sofa is waiting... Shall we play in the “Corner”? Here is a sheet of paper, a pencil in hand...

Our library is a free and absolutely accessible institution. Considering that when working in a library, a child wants to change the environment after studying in the classroom, we introduce elements of comfort in the design of the library space. We are constantly improving our image, improving conditions, changing the interior. Our motto is “Everything for the reader!” We work from 11 to 19 hours. We have open access to funds, 2 reading rooms for business reading, 2 subscriptions and a Recreation Corner for leisure time for younger children school age. The library is always cozy and comfortable. Our collection is formed by timeless classics, educational and reference books, so he is always in demand. The attractive image of the library in the eyes of readers is created thanks to the spacious premises, where there is free access to all sources of information.

You can demonstrate your talents or take part in interesting and unique competitions. During subscriptions, some people just like to “drown” in a comfortable chair with their favorite book. Little readers enjoy spending their time in the library free time. The main goal of our exhibitions is to attract attention and interest so that everyone wants to stop near them. With us, every reader finds something to do for their reader's soul. Here you can prepare for lessons. You can view the latest newspapers and magazines.

Our readers have the opportunity to use the electronic catalog, work in various programs, download information to any medium, print documents on a printer and use the services of a copier and scanner. To attract readers to books, we often organize express exhibitions with the emergence of current topic, which attract bookmarks and symbolic icons.

We organize circular exhibitions on legal issues and education of a healthy lifestyle. They are available for viewing, you can sit near them, make the necessary notes, and find out the necessary telephone numbers.

In the formation and design of library space on subscriptions, we take into account age characteristics readers. For preschoolers and younger schoolchildren, we purchased comfortable, height-appropriate furniture (using sponsorship funds). The arrangement of books is based on genre. The shelves are decorated with short and understandable headings: “Poems”, “Fairy Tales”, “My First Story”, “Travel”, “Miracles of Technology”, “ Live nature", "Writers of Russia", "Writers of the World for Children", "Learn and Be Surprised". On the shelves there are sayings and toys in the form of loved ones literary characters, which help to adapt to an unfamiliar book space.

Exhibitions for children contain not only books, but also objects that attract children's attention. Book exhibitions located on the “book tree” are attractive. Book exhibitions located on the “book tree” are attractive. It would seem like a trifle, but how nice it is when the hero of a literary work recommends a book!

And the night owner of this fabulous place, the library gnome Gosha, creates an atmosphere of mystery. We took the legend about Gosha from Vladislav Krapivin’s book “The Return of the Krechet Clipper”. We tell it on every excursion when registering children for the library. And it’s nice to hear when the kids say that today they were not just in the library, but were visiting Gosha.

To preserve the role of books in children's lives, we are trying to increase attention to family reading. For this purpose, we created the “I want to read” Corner. Parents are invited methodological literature in the form of Reminders, Hints, Bookmarks. On Sundays there are group and individual sessions with parents, and on weekdays only individual conversations, where experienced librarians try to help parents interested in raising reading children. As a recommendation for organizing reading, a “Fairytale Calendar” is drawn up for each month. Quotes for this corner are chosen to be meaningful. For example, “By giving books to children, we give them wings.”

The arrangement of the fund for children of middle and high school age is systematic, according to branches of knowledge. To reveal the fund, we also try to arrange shelf exhibitions during the subscription. We design “talking” exhibitions. For major literary holidays - panoramic exhibitions.

For high school students, we organize exhibitions in the “Time to Read Books for the Soul” cycle, with themes and books selected for them in accordance with the political and literary calendar. For this purpose, in the center of the hall there is an exhibition rack “Young Russia is Reading”, on which expositions and slogans about reading periodically change: “Open a book, open your world”, “There is a book” eternal love", "Reading is fashionable, visiting the library is prestigious", "Become cooler with a book!", "Don't be sad, read, have a laugh!", "There is no better thing in life than going to the library", "I didn't go to the disco, come to the library”, “The library is an intellectual store, feed your brains!” We also design in-shelf and “talking” exhibitions.

The library premises are also used as a place for meetings, conferences and seminars, presentations and celebrations. Glass display cases with changing exhibitions add a unique flavor to the design of the foyer. Compositions of fresh flowers and balloons give this space a beautiful and festive look.

(organization of intellectual leisure for readers) B summer period we are in demand by the city for organizing leisure activities summer camps. Traditionally, we hold meetings in the form of educational hours, competitions, film screenings, meetings with interesting people. The work of the career guidance camp for work and rest “Friends of the Book” can be called an innovative moment. The camp is created by the USZN for recreation, health improvement and employment of teenagers from low-income families in the summer, where there is an opportunity not only to relax, but also to earn money. He has been working in our library for 7 years. We accept 15 teenagers, provide them with our own premises, organize employment, leisure activities, and conduct educational activities.

To develop the personality of these children, the psychologist of the SATORI youth organization holds round tables. “The world in which I live” - for the formation of skills of tolerant consciousness. The round table “Computer gambling addiction: a hobby or a disease” is held in the form of frank conversation“The computer was my friend, now it is becoming my enemy” and testing “Are you a computer addict?” The round table “Man and His Vices” is held as a meeting-revelation “At what level is your tobacco addiction?” with warning training “Are you prone to drugs?” The Employment Center psychologist conducts adaptation classes, testing to determine personality type, exercises to determine personality type, and also many classes on the classification of professions 2 times a week. The guys think about their place in life, themselves, and the possibility of self-education. One of the points of the educational and developmental program was meetings between young people and doctors at the youth reproductive health center.

The guys from this shift worked on a special local history program “Studying the Past”, for the 65th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The key point was the study of documents from the history of the region. On an excursion to the Vistula Spit Museum, we learned in detail about the history of April 1945. These are the legendary days of the assault. And as a result, the library has 4 literary historical research: “Shura Serebrovskaya”, “The first inhabitants of the village. Spit", "Western landing", "Baltic Spit: past and present". The children learned a lot about the history of the city and region from the books of Lydia Dovydenko, a local writer and local historian. And they were very lucky that they were able to attend the presentation of her book “The Secrets of Pillau,” which was held in the library especially for the camp. Each teenager received as a gift the book “The Secrets of Pillau” with the autograph of the author.

An excursion to Schaaken Castle helped to learn about the past of the area. This castle is the epitome of the Middle Ages. It was built in the 12th century. Everyone was able to feel a little like knights and beautiful ladies: you could ride a horse, fight with spears and swords, shoot with a bow, try on ancient clothes, eat “medieval food.” But most importantly, the spirit of antiquity was in the air. True, it was creepy when the guide talked about the terrible tortures that the monks used to fight heretics. The trip to the rapidly developing city of Yantarny was an excursion into the present. We mined amber ourselves, visited the amber museum at the plant, and the museum of superstitions, which is located in the ancient building of Yantarny.

The book theater is used as component mass events held for young children, which helps to foster in them a love of reading through play and aesthetic perception text. It fosters active creative reading. After all, in early childhood understand and remember not with reason and memory, but with imagination and fantasy. When participating in Theater of the Book productions, children happily go to rehearsals, read and learn texts, and then show off their acting skills. The theater of the book works both as a puppet theater, and as a theater on the table, and as an animation theater, and as a shadow theater. Our theater is chamber. There are usually 20–30 children present at the performance. Theatricalization is an element of a mass event. Moreover, in front of each group, the required work of art is “played” by guys from the same group. Of course, they come to our rehearsals 2 weeks before the event. Moreover, it is not the most talented children who play in our theater. And these guys, with average creative potential, try very hard in our “performances” and happily show their ability to transform short excerpt work of art V a bright picture. The remaining participants are active spectators of the event. They participate in competitions, quizzes, dialogue with artists, and young artists enjoy the attention of their classmates.

During school year in this library space work is being carried out on additional literary development with 1st grade students and extended day groups. We work according to the programs “My first Russian history” and “Seasons: a chronicle of folk holidays and rituals in Rus'.” These are loud readings of historical and fiction literature, combined with the development creativity by the method of competitions and game programs. For example, according to the program “My First Russian History” on the basis of the exhibition “How Faith was Chosen in Rus'”, a conversation “The Baptism of Rus'” is held, a loud reading of the story of N.N. Golovin is held. “Holy Prince Vladimir and the Baptism of Rus'”, watching an episode from the film “Russian Rites” and a quiz.

According to the “Seasons” program, in January an exhibition-story “Winter Folk festivities” was organized, an educational conversation “Walk at Christmas time without looking back” was held with a loud reading of I. Shmelev’s stories from the book “The Lord’s Summer” and the stories of N.S. Leskova. Then the children took books to read at home on this topic and the next week carried out the game program “Christmas and Yuletide Week.” In May, an exhibition was created - a symbol of “The loudest of all months, the cheerful month of May!” Conversation with video clips “Holy Trinity”. Loud reading of books on the topic “The work of people in spring days" Literary educational hour with the game program “Let's go, girls, curl some wreaths! Curl the wreaths, let’s curl the green ones!” In December, this is the symbolic exhibition “Frosty snow will sparkle with silver brocade.” Then a conversation with videos “Happy New Year! With all the family! Loud reading of books on a Christmas theme and the game program “Hello, guest winter!” A survey among teachers who use the program, working using innovative technologies, made it possible to improve it annually and continue to develop the cognitive interests of schoolchildren.

To properly equip your home library, we will need special storage systems: open shelves, glazed cabinets, designer shelving and designer compositions. All of them will allow you not only to properly store your favorite books, paintings and accessories, but also to decorate the interior in an original way.

A home library is great. Previously, not a single decent home could do without it, and books were not only a favorite hobby, but also an indicator of the intellectual level of the owners. Today, essentially nothing has changed. Even with all kinds of gadgets, from e-books to tablets and laptops, there is still nothing better than a paper book for home reading. Therefore, many still collect their own library and, of course, the problem arises of how and where to store these same books, that is, how best to equip a home library. Of course, this cannot be done without special systems storage Today their choice is wide and varied. These can be either open shelving or glazed cabinets and shelves that protect from dust and moisture. If there are a lot of books in the house and a separate room has been allocated for the library, it would be correct to equip one wall with open shelving from floor to ceiling. The only thing is that you will have to get a comfortable staircase, which will complement the composition. Well, if there are not many books in the house and there is no need to allocate premises for a library, then a small bookcase can be placed in any room: in the office, hall, living room and even in the bedroom. But most often, owners choose a study or living room for this purpose. It is in the living room that a beautiful shelving unit can perfectly decorate the central wall and become the dominant feature of the entire interior. Shelving is a multifunctional thing. In addition to books, they store and display all sorts of valuable and beautiful things: expensive painting, favorite photos, art and accessories. And also in general composition It is easy to turn on a variety of equipment, such as an LCD TV and a stereo system. In addition, shelving can easily solve the problem of organizing space. They are often used as partitions. So, in a large open space living room, with the help of a through shelving you can separate the relaxation area with sofas from the dining room or study. And finally, with the help of shelving you can effectively decorate the interior. Today this is easier to do. Bookshelves are a favorite theme in modern design. The Dutch and English are especially keen on it. Original racks and wall shelves made of colored plastic, metal and wood will paint the interior better than any artist. They look especially good in the large space of a minimalist loft. A bookcase in the shape of a spiral or a fancy abstract figure, and even in a bright color, really looks like a fashionable art object against the background of a white wall. But such an art object is not just spectacular and funny, but also super useful! Photos of decorating home libraries using shelving can be seen in our selection.

The relaxation area in the office is conveniently organized and beautifully decorated. Using paired vertical shelving, a symmetrical composition was created, the center of which was occupied by a small comfortable sofa.

Beautiful modular shelving bright of blue color decorated the wall of the office behind the desk. The rack is not only beautiful, but also very convenient. It includes open shelves, closed vertical cabinets and plenty of drawers. To maintain the spectacular color, the authors of the project continued it on the walls.

Using original shelving, two walls of the living area were decorated. In addition to small compartments for books, the shelves are equipped with illuminated niches for displaying paintings and accessories. The composition was complemented by a high wooden staircase.

The shelving in the office looks unusual and resembles a painting. The rectangular shelf around the perimeter was decorated with a frame made of carved baguette, similar to the painting placed next door. For interior in style modern classics- quite a suitable reception.

A small multifunctional shelving unit is installed on the wall of the office. The rack is made in the style and materials of the desktop and is a system of closed drawers and open cells.

The small office received a lot of bonuses from the designers. Firstly, there is a large panoramic window, which means there is always a lot of light. Secondly, there is an excellent exposure surface with good lighting. And, thirdly, the wall behind the desk is equipped with a convenient open shelving unit with many small shelves.

Every day we are faced with information “pouring” at us from all sides. Almost everywhere, and in the library too, we see stands, leaflets, leaflets that we... simply don’t notice anymore. Do our readers read our stands? Do they find the information they need there?

I would like to note that fellow methodologists wrote some pretty good recommendations on the topic of information stands. Let’s actually start with them.

..." The main goal in attracting readers to the library is not so much the introduction of various services, but ensuring their relevance, promoting intellectual products and the same services.

Promotion- This various shapes information, persuasion of users or reminders about library services and products.

Main tasks promoting library services are:

formation of a prestigious image (image) of the library in the minds of the population, representatives of local authorities, public organizations etc.;

informing about new services introduced by the library;

maintaining the popularity of existing library services, convincing users to demand them;

informing potential users about the time, place and conditions for the provision of services;

focusing the attention of users on the specific properties and benefits of the library services offered, on the freeness of basic forms of service.

The first photographs on the theme "library", "library". The use of these words is the most popular in the names of stands - there is a world, a city, a dossier, and a corner with a courier. In my opinion, any name looks decent, the main thing is that the “courier” promptly changes the information, the “world” reflects the “global” scale, and the “dossier” ... by the way, what’s in your “information dossier”, gentlemen - librarians?

We continue to study information stands. Colleagues suggest filling the resource with the following materials:

Basic information: library name; the library network of which it is a subdivision; operating mode; FULL NAME. librarian; composition of the fund

Goals and objectives of the library in the organization library services population;

Each of the stands, in my opinion, is worthy of our attention. What do you think?

While you are looking at the photographs, I will continue.We all understand thatThe information stand should be located in a place convenient for users to familiarize themselves with. It is advisable to glaze the stand, especially if it is located outside the library. Materials and announcements must be updated in a timely manner so that the stand does not contain outdated information. Of course, use computer typing. What else? How do you like the presence of the word “information” in the names of the stands? This seems to be a good word, but librarians sometimes get carried away and we read, and read, and read “information”. It would be better if there was a Library City.

Just a couple of lines about design of materials. And above in the photo and below you will see design options. This is a personal matter (and financial too) for each library. But sometimes we see this picture - some librarians, without further ado, put more text in the proposed “pockets” and let it hang. And some people really love everything shiny and it turns out that the text is no longer important.

We librarians very often forget that our “information” will be read by ordinary people(don’t forget to allocate stands separately for adults and children), who absolutely don’t care how beautiful and long the name of our library is. They want to see what is happening in this library - what events, what services, when and in what department this can be done, and where to come with their child. Large-scale paintings, filled with texts DO NOT WORK. Alas and ah.

Of course, we follow each other’s successes, focus on foreign countries, and come up with something of our own. The stands placed above are not bad or require improvement. Each of them is good, but THE READER NEEDS ANOTHER ONE.

BRIEF. CAPACITY. NOT STANDARD.

good example of brevity

I suggest reading very good thoughts on the topic of stands from one of our librarian colleagues. The answers to these questions may vary from librarian to librarian. And this is good, because in this case we will be dealing with a “uncommon facial expression.” Someone, for sure, can suggest other techniques and methods that do information stands truly effective, and not just a collection of posters that readers pass by without stopping.

1. How many stands do you need?There may be several of them: in the foyer, on the subscription, in reading room, in other departments and functional areas. Each of them has their own goals and objectives.

In the foyer - the most general information about the library: full name, postal and email address, founders, managers, partners, mission, awards. Information about regulatory documents is probably appropriate: Charter, Rules, Price lists for paid services..., according to which the library operates. It is hardly worth posting the full text of these documents; it is enough to list them and tell them where they are and who to contact for them. Here is the structure of the library: the names of departments (branches), how they can help readers/users, how to find them, who to contact... Information about general library, district/city events and promotions.

Accordingly, in departments there is more detailed information about the departments: about employees, resources, services, events, achievements...

2. Where and on what are the stands located? Spatially: closer to the collection, to the exit, next to the catalogue, near the department? ... It depends on both the size of the room and the conceptual idea. On special tablets, posters, exhibition stands, bookshelves, directly on the wall, using scrap materials?... I know that there are very original finds.

3. What stands are needed: permanent or variable? Statemental or navigational (explaining where, what and how to find)? There may be both. You can make two parts on one stand. Then what is the ratio of the parts? Frequency of updating the variable component?

4. Sections and topics of the stand? They depend on what we want to tell readers/users, what to show, what to entice... They can also be permanent and replaced with more relevant ones.

6. How will texts, sections and topics be arranged on the stand? You can follow the principle of a book page:
left to right, top to bottom. It is possible - centrifugally. In the center there is a non-stopper, some detail that sharply attracts attention: a question mark and the question itself, a photograph, a black spot... In children's libraries, mascots, literary characters are used for this purpose... and then, to the edges of the stand - texts , revealing the meaning of non-stopper. The text and pictures located in the upper right part are best perceived: here may be the most important or urgent information. What other ideas will you have?

7. Will the color scheme be used and how? What colors will carry the main meaning? Be sure to clarify and use color combinations correctly. Here you can think about what fonts can be used. Of course, computer printing looks better, but depending on the design, why not use exclusive works by the artist.

8. What are the stylistic features and language? Much depends on the location of the stands and, accordingly, the intended purpose. Official text - business style and language. Event invitations are naturally more emotional language. There may be style options for children and teenagers, students and retirees. The main thing is that there is no commanding tone, prohibitive or punitive promises.

9. Will there be an appeal to readers? What type: greeting, question, call for evaluation, feedback? Generalized-personified: dear friend, dear reader..., or generalized-group: dear students, pensioners...

10. Is it supposed to be interactive? If so, how will feedback be provided: special pockets for notes, questions, color tokens for voting; place for online entries, (“collection” of reviews), contact communication channels? What else? Recently, libraries have begun to actively use electronic information tools: creeping line, computer monitor. Maybe the time will come, we will use holograms. And what do you think? And what haven't I said yet?

But most importantly, since we live in an age of high technology, this means that the information that we want to convey to the masses should be located on high-tech, modern information stands.

An interactive information board that recognizes the reader by sight is no longer a fantasy! Instead of static stands in the “monologue” format, technological solutions have already been created that integrate with Digital Signage systems and allow not only to convey information to the consumer, but also to provide feedback : analyze how many people actually read the information posted on the board, how much time they spend near it, evaluate the reaction of the information consumer, determine the age, gender, social status of the “readers.”

P.S. How to present websites to readers (using the example of a library in Arzamas)

Registration of the fund

Open access is the face of every library, and it is created primarily for readers. How it is organized and designed determines how readers will perceive it, whether they will feel comfortable here, and whether they will be able to freely navigate it themselves to find the necessary literature.

The main principles of fund design: taking into account the age characteristics of readers; finding your own design style; choosing a topic, a mascot hero (library, department); artistic solution (font, color); development of themes, colors, symbols in the design of shelf dividers; a clear reflection of the close relationship between the library and the reader; taking into account the individual characteristics of the library (collection volume, area, etc.); changing the structure of the shelving arrangement (where possible). How did the idea of ​​transforming the open collection come to fruition in each children's library branch?

The team of the Zaitsev Central Children's Children's Hospital (service manager I. Paimysheva) updated two subscriptions and a reading room. Employees of each department came up with an emblem, symbols, and chose colors. Thus, the subscription, serving preschoolers and students in grades 1-3 and 4-5, is designed in a space style and called “The Third Planet.” (The design is based on the book “The Secret of the Third Planet” by Kir Bulychev.) The symbol of the department was Gromozeka (one of the heroes of the book) - kind, sympathetic, inquisitive. Literature signs are made in the form of flying saucers. Their color fully matches the color of the shelf dividers: blue and green for scientific literature, red and yellow for fiction.

The bookcase with literature for 2nd and 3rd grade students was called “To you, pioneers!” Unconventional names were given to the shelf dividers: scientific and educational literature - “Lyuboznaykam” (about the world around us), “There is a Russian side” (history), “Igronauts” (games, crosswords, homemade products); fiction- “Fairy tales gathered together”, “Land of unread books”, “Poetic rainbow”, etc.

Students in grades 4-5 are offered books on a shelf with the title “For you, old-timers!” Thematic dividers received the following names: scientific and educational literature - “From Time Immemorial”, “Teaching is not Torment”, “About Our Lesser Brothers”; fiction - “Your Golden Shelf”, “About Boys and Girls”, “Miracles and Mysteries”.

On a separate shelf there is an exhibition “Treasures of the Starry Sky”, which demonstrates the library’s care for its readers. Its sections: "The Most Reading Astronauts" - a shelf exhibition of the reader's form; “Masters of the Universe” - presents literature about celebratory writers and their works; "Help" - a shelf exhibition of recommendatory bibliography: recommendation lists, bookmarks, advertisements for books and magazines, as well as thematic card indexes; “The Charm of Old Editions” is a shelf exhibition of undeservedly forgotten books.

When creating open access, librarians did not forget about debtors. A poster was posted that said, "Galactic Patrol Inspectorate is looking for them." It presents a list of those who did not submit literature to the library on time. The unconventional name and bright design attract the attention of readers, including the penal prisoners themselves.

It should also be said about the bibliography corner, made in red tones. The symbol of Gromozek's department, present in this corner, shows children that with the help of a systematic and illustrated catalog they can choose a book. This cheerful, bright little man also reminds children of the deadline for returning the book. It is written on a poster located at the librarian's lectern.

The subscription serving students in grades 6-9 was issued in nautical style. And they gave it a romantic, one might say, adventure name - “Columbus”. The attributes of open access include a globe and a card index for teenagers to help school curriculum"A Light in the Ocean", bibliographic game "Wind of Wanderings".

Open access literature is located on three shelves under the following titles: “The Lonely Sail Whitens” - fiction classic literature(shelf dividers and bookmarks are made in blue and white); “Meeting in the wardroom” - recommended bibliography and forms for the most active readers; "Roads of a Desert Island" - scientific and educational literature. (Shelf dividers and header are green and yellow.)

The reading room deserves special attention. Choosing a topic that would reflect his work, the librarians settled on detective genre, since in the reading room there is a daily painstaking search for information, inquiries are being carried out in response to complex, sometimes confusing requests from readers, no less secret and incomprehensible than the plot in an exciting detective story.

The emblem was an open book and mysterious, inquisitive, mysterious and inquisitive drawn eyes that everyone wants to know. The emblem is designed in black, blue and red colors. The same colors were used for the design of the bibliographic search game “Experts are on the trail.” The game is located in bookcases, where thematic folders and collections of local history are presented, reflecting the main direction of the library's work - local history.

The colorful poster invites readers to answer three groups of questions: o memorable places Nizhny Novgorod and regions; about historical places of Sormovsky district; anniversary dates related to the lives of famous Nizhny Novgorod residents. The one who answers all the questions receives the title of True Nizhny Novgorod. The goal of the game is to attract the attention of readers to the local history fund and teach them to independently search for information.

With great imagination and invention we approached decoration open access in the Brinsky library (branch head N. Potapova).

Three open access shelving units are combined into a large “House of Pochitayki”. The owner of the house is the little man Pochitayka, who is a symbol of the library, he presents to readers best books, new magazines, indicates the return period, etc. In this house, the shelving is the entrances, bookshelves- floors, shelf dividers - keys, and the reader's address of the literature on each shelf is indicated on the locks of the house: 2-3 classes, 4-5 classes, 6-9 classes. Keys and locks for each age are made in a certain color: red, yellow, green. And to make it more convenient for children to navigate in the public domain, a “traffic light” system has been developed and is presented in the form of a traffic light man.

In keeping with the open access of the Brinsky Library, the design of open access at the children's department of the M. Lomonosov Library (branch head N. Mashkina). Here, open access is provided for children readers by an entire “Read Street”, where each shelf is a house with a specific number: 1/3 4/6, 7/9 (the number indicates the age of the readers to whom the books are addressed). The inhabitants of these houses are books and literary heroes: Carlson, Matroskin the cat, Thumbelina and others, and each is located behind its own shelf divider. Shelf dividers are made in the form of house windows. There are many such windows, which allows you to fully reveal the fund. The color scheme of the house racks is also successful. Three houses - three colors: lemon, pink and white. Thanks to color and numbering, readers can immediately find their “home” on the fabulous “Read Street”. The open access design features of this library are simplicity, clarity and accessibility for child readers.

The open access of the library named after A. Matrosov (branch manager L. Slastnikova) was originally designed. Very limited area The subscription provides open access for readers of all ages. It is located in such a way that children do not interfere with each other in choosing literature.

For preschoolers there is a corner “How to be able to read well.” Colored symbols on book-brochures (yellow and red triangles) help not to confuse the books and help you figure out what kind of literature it is - fiction (poems, stories, fairy tales) or scientific-educational (about animals, plants, technology).

For middle-aged readers, literature is collected under the heading "Treasure Island". The guide to this “island” is made in the form of a map located on an open book. The map shows books according to the most different topics: "Castle of Miracles" - adventures; "Spring of Poetry" - poems; "Peak of Victory" is about war; "Volcano of History" - historical literature; "The Naturalist's Path" is about the natural world.

Exactly the same symbols are placed on the boxes where the books are located, and on the books themselves. This allows children to quickly find the literature they are interested in, and librarians to quickly organize the collection. The symbol of open access for middle-aged readers has become Captain Flint, who invites those who wish to visit “Treasure Island.”

Open access for students in grades 7-8 is located on a shelf under the heading “Reading Circle”. Here, each thematic divider has its own color. And books standing behind a divider of a certain color have a stripe on the spine of the same color as the shelf divider itself (for example, the divider “In the World of Fantasy” is purple, and books in this section have a purple stripe on the spine, etc. .d.). This solution helps in choosing the necessary literature and, of course, facilitates the arrangement of the collection.

In the children's department of the Leninsky Komsomol Library (headed by N. Golomidova), the open access fund is one of the largest among children's libraries in the region. It is located on six shelves. Librarians have thought out the name and color of each section for readers of different age groups.

Thus, for students in grades 1-3, there is a shelf with literature decorated in yellow tones, called “Romashkovo”. Its symbol is a cartoon train, which in poetic form invites readers to get acquainted with the books.

Students in grades 4-6 find themselves in the “Fairytale Castle”, which is made in red and brown tones, where they are greeted by Queen Book. She is a symbol of the fund's division. And from the appeal poem you can learn about what literature is presented here and for whom.

The open access section “The Sea of ​​Books” appears in blue tones for readers in grades 7-9. A ship flying in full sail represents the desire of teenagers for knowledge, discovery, and travel. On a blue scroll, children can read a poem - wishing them good luck in sailing the sea of ​​books.

This solution for designing open access shelves helps visitors quickly and easily navigate the collection and find the necessary literature.

The team of the Kassil Library (headed by L. Fedotova) began working with open access by changing the location of the shelves. They were placed at a considerable distance from each other, which eliminated the illusion of a solid object and drew attention to a separate rack. Each bookcase with literature is addressed to readers of a certain age: younger, middle, older. The "Preschooler's Corner" is also highlighted. Finding the right book is made easier by various color scheme shelf dividers for each literature department.

A voluminous multi-colored polyhedron, suspended on a thread between the shelves, attracts the attention of readers. You can spin this “toy” and determine which theme it corresponds to specific color shelf dividers and signs on the book. For example: green - ecology, red - history, yellow - fiction, etc.

To summarize, it must be said that each team showed ingenuity, professional skill, creativity, and individuality. Thanks to this, open access in every library has become more vibrant, attractive, updated, unique and more accessible to young readers.

Tips for decorating a children's library.

What could be easier to organize in your home? children's library: I bought the book and put it on the shelf. But it turns out it’s not as simple as we wanted it to be, forming a circle children's reading depends on many factors: these are the age characteristics of the child, his interest in literature and the tasks that we want when creating homework children's library. We can omit the conversation about this altogether if we were adults at the preschool stage childhood fully fulfilled the main tasks: developing interest in the book and caring for it. But, unfortunately, all this rarely happens now, because books in our homes now have powerful rivals: TV, video, computer, tablets.

Have you ever thought about question: “What can a book give your child?” But a book is where children get a lot of knowledge: the first ideas about time and space, about the connection between man and nature and objective world, which contributes to the expansion children's horizons. Through literary works For the first time, kids experience courage and ability, good and evil, human values like humanity, justice, friendship, sympathy, i.e. books open and purify the soul, cultivate good feelings. Books are an inexhaustible source for the development of intelligence and creativity, not only for children, but also for adults. In this regard, we we advise Be very careful and selective about the organization and selection of books in the house. Adults must remember that a book attracts small child registration. Appearance there must be books attractive: different forms of covers, beautiful bright illustrations.

At home library there must be different types of books.

The first stage is a toy book, a picture book, which is given to the child from a very early age. (up to a year). But this is not literature yet. In these books, the visual image prevails over the verbal; the drawings are of primary importance. K.I. Chukovsky noted that this period is important in mastering speech and a book that gives rich visual impressions will be a good assistant in this matter.

A child who picks up a book at an early age and enjoys interacting with it will continue to be drawn to the book and become a passionate reader.

The second stage is book cutting. A book whose cover is cut out according to the office of the subject about which we're talking about in the text, and its playful external decor also helps to attract the child to become familiar with the content.

The third stage is a panorama book. It is not only vividly illustrated, but also has moving figures. With the help of these figures, the action seems to come to life in it. By manipulating them, the child not only gets involved in the rhythm of the text, but also lives what is happening along with the characters.

We must also remember that in library baby should have books different types reflections reality: not only fairy tales, but also realistic literature, not only prose, but also poems.

Up to 3–4 years of age, children should be surrounded by clamshell-type picture books and toy books with a predominance of illustrations and short text: “Ryaba Hen”, “Magpie-Crow”, etc. After 3 years, it is important to adhere to one of the basic rules - in the child’s field of vision there should be from 3 to 5 books with bright illustrations and plots accessible for this age. This books: A. Barto “Toys”, “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats”, “Kolobok”, “Teremok”, “Three Bears”, etc.

It is good to update the repertoire of books after 2 - 3 weeks, introducing one new book at a time, with a surprise or encouragement, For example:

Today the book brought you a very interesting book “Cat House”.

Grandma and I decided to give you a new fairy tale- after all, you really love and take care of books.

At 4 years of age and older, it is very important to tell your child that there is children's library. And together with the child it is necessary to organize it correctly, that is, systematize it according to type adult: fairy tales, books by one author; according to the seasons, stories about animals, books by foreign authors, poems, riddles, encyclopedias, etc. It is important to separate each division with a cardboard partition with a picture - a symbol indicating a particular section. It's good to give your name a name. library(for example “Book House”) and gradually accumulate it.

But we must not forget that books also love care. Next to the “Book House”, you can place a “Book Hospital” corner, where materials and tools for repairing books will be stored. We recommend doing this work together with children. This will help educate careful attitude and love for books. Pay attention to the printing decor illustrations and of course the content.
