Study on the Child Care Support Using of "Book Start" Promotion Activities for Infants by Public Libraries

作为公共图书馆向婴儿推广读书活动的一部分，已经实施了图书启动计划。在这项研究中，考察了以下几个方面：(1)地方当局如何将这样的计划整合到婴幼儿保育活动中？(2)如何渗透到家庭中？(3)什么样的方法才能使其发挥托儿支持的作用？因此，图书启动计划一直是公共图书馆的触发器，并已被整合到当地的婴幼儿保育活动中，以促进以图画书为媒介的照顾者和儿童之间的互动。作为次要效果，它被用来缓解婴儿健康检查期间的紧张情绪，并促进了当地志愿者的使用。在家里，节目中介绍的图画书已经被婴儿的父母以及兄弟姐妹和祖父母反复朗读给婴儿听。这些照顾者通过给婴儿阅读图画书感到“放松”。研究表明，要使图书启动计划有效地发挥政府对儿童的支持作用，强调照顾者与儿童之间的互动是该计划的目标，并示范利用当地人力资源(如图书馆管理员、社会教育专家、教育委员会和阅读志愿者)为儿童阅读，以下几点很重要。与这些人的共同努力被证实是公共卫生护士在婴幼儿保育活动历史上前所未有的一种新的公共服务方式。此外，儿童阅读图画书可以成为在家中传承育儿传统的机会。因此，图书启动计划作为一种由公共图书馆开展的婴儿阅读推广活动的托儿支持方式，有可能发展为具有培养下一代的前景的托儿支持。

The Book Start program has been implemented as a part of a promotion by public libraries of book reading to infants. In this study, the following were examined ; (1)How is thus program integrated into infant-child care activities by the local authorities? (2)How does it penetrate into the home? (3)What kind of method is appropriate to allow it to function as child care support?As a result, the Book Start program has been acting as a trigger from public libraries and has been integrated into local Infant-Child care activities to promote interaction between caretakers and children using picture books as the medium. As a secondary effect, it is utilized to ease the tension during an infants' health checkup, and it promotes the usage of local volunteers. At home, the picture books introduced in the program have been repeatedly read to an infant by the infant's father and mother as well as brothers, sisters, and grandparents. These care takers feel "relaxed" by reading picture books to infants.The study suggested that the following are important to allow the Book Start program to effectively function as child care support by the government ; emphasizing interaction between care-takers and children as a goal of the program, and demonstrating readings for children utilizing local human resources such as librarians, social education specialists, the board of education, and reading volunteers. It was confirmed that joint efforts with these people is a new and unprecedented method of public service in the history of Infant-Child care activities by public health nurses. In addition, reading picture books for children can be an opportunity to pass down child care traditions at home.Thus, the Book Start Program as a child care support method using book reading promotion activities for infants by public libraries has the potential to develop into child care support with a perspective to foster the next generation.
