The program SOLIDARITY SCHOOL LIBRARIES It includes initiatives aimed at promoting cultural volunteering in relation to libraries and reading among non-university students and their families and recognizes the efforts of educational communities to create “inclusive school libraries”, which help alleviate inequalities in access to knowledge.
These actions include the READING VOLUNTEERING-A, aimed at encouraging cultural volunteering related to reading among students in 5th and 6th grade of Primary School. The aim is to recognize the collaborative work that some students have been carrying out in the libraries of their respective centers, by participating voluntarily in library management and dynamization activities and to promote the extension of a practice that produces excellent results in relation to the acquisition of reading habits, while contributing to the formation of attitudes of solidarity and collaboration among students.
In Galicia 10 centers were selected, 2 of them in the province of Lugo and one of them is the CEIP of A Pobra do Brollón. The center will host a workshop within a month, which may be related to oral narration and expressive reading, on “circuits and books”, the development of booktrailers, a “radio laboratory”, cooperative and traditional games or traditional music and dance. The corresponding workshop will be specified with each center through the School Library Advisory Service.
As an activity integrated in the volunteering programs of the Directorate General of Youth, Participation and Volunteering, the students directly involved and responsible for the volunteer reading and school library activities will receive a diploma for their collaboration as a cultural volunteer action, as well as informative and support material for the program.
