Into the book
This book began with the hope of helping new librarians who must begin grade-level library instruction without textbooks or curricula.
Senior librarians who have worked in school libraries for over 10 years have published a book containing the lessons and materials they have implemented through trial and error.
First, we discussed and organized what classes were taught by grade level and what classes were taught to develop children's information utilization and problem-solving skills.
Next, we selected class keywords for each grade level and created achievement standards based on those keywords, thereby establishing a system for library education.
For lower grades, keywords were selected to learn library use skills, while for upper grades, content was structured to learn research methods using the library.

--- p.5~6

If you are a teacher who is teaching a library class for the first time in a school library, you may feel overwhelmed by everything, including the structure and preparation of the class content.
While diverse motivational materials and engaging teaching methods are important, library education should focus on the special encounters with children that take place in the school library.
When teachers first consider how to operate the school library and set class goals to help children grow into creative democratic citizens, their teaching methodology will become more effective.

--- p.18~19

First-grade library education is also the first step in democratic citizenship education.
Knowing that you are the owner of the library, you actively use the library and follow the library rules to be considerate of others who use it.
Through these experiences, children learn the attitude and mindset of democratic citizens.

--- p.34

Second-grade library education is a stepping stone to information utilization, where students learn how to find and use necessary information on their own.
It is good for children to read books recommended by adults, but it is also very important for them to have the experience of finding books on their own that are related to their interests or that provide the necessary information, depending on their reading purpose.
A child's ability to utilize information grows as they recognize whether the purpose of reading is for enjoyment or problem solving, define what information is needed to solve the problem, access the necessary information, and go through the experience of obtaining information by determining whether it is useful to them.

--- p.58

While children may enjoy the ease of finding information online, elementary school children often struggle to sort through the vast amount of information to find verified, valid information, so research activities using books are recommended.
If you consistently research topics using books written by experts, it will help you learn more about the library and you will be able to utilize the library effectively by conducting your own research and exploration activities, knowing that the library has a wide range of materials on various topics.

--- p.129

Children learn library rules and etiquette, various information sources, and classification from the librarian.
Research topics of interest on your own, and if you can't do it alone, experience the process of planning and sharing with others.
Children who accumulate these experiences one by one will grow into information producers and users with proper civic consciousness.
To achieve this, school libraries and librarians must continuously stimulate children's curiosity and create an environment that allows them to express themselves in various ways.

--- p.151

The library is a place of enriching encounters and a creative space where new ideas and challenges are constantly emerging.
That is why the ‘school library’, which is the first library children encounter, is even more important.
The proper library use and information utilization education received at the school library gives children a lifelong friend in the library.
--- p.152

Publisher's Review
Sharing experiences and know-how in library education

This book contains lessons and materials that have been implemented through trial and error by school librarians who have worked in school libraries for over 10 years.
Most school librarians, who are in charge of school libraries on a one-person basis and are responsible for library education for all grades, often struggle in the educational field.
Four teachers who had shared similar concerns gathered together to connect their experiences and share the results of their efforts, taking the first step toward laying the foundation for elementary school library education.
Beyond simply sharing class content, they sought to establish a system for elementary library education based on various research materials and school experiences.

What and how should school libraries teach?

When you first become a teacher-librarian and try to plan your lessons, you will often find yourself feeling overwhelmed.
This is because, in a situation where there is no senior teacher to advise on the work or class preparation and operation, it is difficult and confusing to know not only how to run the library but also what content to teach.
This book focuses on the content and methods of library use and information utilization education for first and second graders, and also provides specific answers to the questions that librarians frequently ask.


How to use the workbook to learn in a fun way with various activities and games

We introduce lesson plans and various activities appropriate for each grade level so that first and second graders who are using the school library for the first time can participate in classes in a fun way.
In particular, the use of the elementary school library education workbook 『Exciting First Library』 (written by Park Seong-hee, Yoo Nam-im, Lee Yun-hee, and Hwang Eun-young, published by School Library Journal) planned together with this book was covered in detail from the teacher's perspective so that it can be applied directly to classes.
Through library education, children will become lifelong friends with books, and through books they will develop their dreams and grow.


List of books by subject related to the 1st and 2nd grade curriculum

We have carefully selected and introduced books that are good to read with children for each library education period, and included a list of books by subject related to the 1st and 2nd grade curriculum as an appendix.
We have organized related subjects and units by topic, such as family, seasons, various book shapes, library use, the joy of reading, holidays, respect for life, safety, admission, and friends, to increase class utilization.
