Abstract:

Libraries are an important force in organizing themed reading clubs for children. Taking the “Little Seed Reading Club” project at Shanghai Children’s Library as an example, this article deeply explores five key measures: recommending themed booklists, curating themed exhibitions, hosting themed reading sessions, conducting themed meet-and-greets, and implementing themed reading incentive programs. It analyzes characteristics such as novel service models, service environments, booklist development, and the roles of reading facilitators. It further offers recommendations for enhancing children’s reading clubs, including encouraging family involvement, emphasizing creative design, strengthening training, and developing toolkit resources.
