Media
partners Library and School: reading and information literacy NRW
With this
cooperative project the
Bertelsmann Foundation
and the
Ministry for City Planning and Building, Culture and Sport
of the Land Nordrhein-Westfalen
contribute to fostering the development of reading and information
literacy through the
strategic partnership between
public libraries and schools.
Schools
have libraries as competent, reliable and experienced media partners: libraries
professionally support them in order to improve reading and information literacy
of pupils and students.
Libraries
become always more teaching libraries, and their activities are integrated into
the curricula of teaching institutions; the libraries systematically open to the
target groups “young customers” and “teachers”.
Municipalities
present themselves education-friendly.
Pupils and students
gain effective measures in order to develop their reading and information
literacy.
In order to
enhance reading and information literacy the project “Public library and School
– new forms of the partnership” lasted 5 years (1995-2000) has developed and
tested different methods.
They are now widely used, improved and developed within a network of 38
municipalities of the Land Nordrhein-Westfalen.
At
the same time new systematic forms of co-operation between library and school
should be further developed.
Within the project public libraries effectively support schools through their
media offers and services.
The first
project phase started in June 2002 with 25 municipalities of the Land
Nordrhein-Westfalen.
The second phase started in May 2003 with further 13
municipalities of NRW.

Reading Municipality
Within the network of local communities participating in the
project, the “reading partners” should act locally and decide and perform
common partner actions according to other ones, both at the Federal and Land
level.
