Abstract: Children are the future of the country and the hope of the nation. Children’s librarians will play a great role in the realization of the vision 2035, because they provide library services for children and safeguard children’s cultural rights. On the basis of summarizing the current research and practice on the training of children’s librarians, this paper puts forward a preliminary framework for establishing the training mechanism of children’s librarians. In order to establish the training mechanism of children’s librarians for 2035, we need to innovate perspectives. For example, we can explore the establishment of the training mechanism of children’s librarians from the perspective of theory, children’s perspective, recruitment perspective and absorbing the experience of other fields. On the other hand, we should establish a multi-directional guarantee for the training of children’s librarians, including gradually developing professional education and training students’ professional ability, actively standardizing job recruitment and continuously promoting continuing education. At the same time, we should promote the establishment of professional organizations and cooperate with other institutions to formulate standardized documents, so as to effectively train children’s librarians to meet the needs of the new era.
