children's librarianship

Children's librarianship is a specialized branch of librarianship dedicated to providing age-appropriate resources, programs, and environments for young readers, typically from infancy through tweens. Children's librarians select and organize books and multimedia, develop engaging storytimes and educational activities, and foster a love of reading and learning. They also support child development by encouraging literacy, comprehension, and social skills, often collaborating with schools, parents, and community organizations. The goal is to create a welcoming space that promotes curiosity, imagination, and lifelong learning in children.
