Abstract: Taking Jiashan Library’s “Amazing Parents” reading service project as an example, this paper explores the service practices of public libraries that focus on parents and supporting family education. The project centers on parents, with four key focus areas: parental awareness, parental abilities, parental cooperation, and parental actions. Through a case study method, the paper introduces the background, three major sections, and three major measures of the “Amazing Parents” reading service project, along with its implementation effects. It analyzes the project’s characteristics and extracts key dimensions, ultimately developing service strategies for public libraries to effectively focus on parents and assist in family education based on these four focus points.
