parents busy work
children go to the bookstore and read
8 year old Kay, with no parents, has read for 4 days in the Xinhua bookstore. "There are so many good books that I can't see them all. Anyway, I have finished the tutorial class, and my mother sent me here to" recharge ". When he saw Xiao Kai in Xinhua Bookstore, Quancheng Road, he was watching a detective story with relish.
Kay's parents are too busy to take him to work. A few days ago, he had just completed a nearly one month tutorial class. "Mom said," you can't walk out of the bookstore, you can't run around, and you'll pick me up at noon. " Reporters are feeling that when Kay Kai's parents are "big at heart", Xiao Kai told reporters that he was reading with a neighbor's boy. Parents would be more relieved.
reporters found that many children read books alone without accompanying adults. A young girl who is about to go to Grade Four tells a reporter: "Mom and dad want to work, I like reading books. I have read all the books at home, so let my mother send me here, and she goes to work again."
a parent told reporters that the reason why children read to a bookstore is because they are not comfortable with their children at home. "Take her to the bookstore to see the book, here not only the environment is good, the air conditioning is also cool, hungry and thirsty, there are places to eat and drink, the most important reason is that the books here are all, the reading atmosphere is very good, can infect the children, let her learn to study with others love reading."
read more books than people who buy books
"relatively speaking, people who read here are more than those who buy books." Xinhua Bookstore, a staff member told reporters that since the summer vacation, the bookstore's traffic increased significantly, and the number of people buying books was much higher than usual. Reporters found that in the bookstore reading group, primary school students accounted for the majority. Because the seats in the bookstore are limited, they are already full, and many reading children sit in rows. Many people read a cup or a bottle of milk tea with a cup of water.
reporter has learned that people who come to bookstores are not only local people in Ji'nan, but also many tourists will come to bookstores to read books. A junior student told the reporter that he and his mother came to Ji'nan to travel. It was too hot outside, and he came to the bookstore to cool down and see if there were any books he liked.
reporter also saw an interesting phenomenon, many parents with children to read a book, generally to the bookstore will go straight to the teaching assistant area, buy the next semester's teaching materials, will let the children free choice of books to see.
so many children who love reading books in the bookstore, so is the community library closer to home than in the summer vacation?
the community library is free to borrow
many communities in Ji'nan have a community library, and are free to the residents; for the student group, it is also a great benefit. Recently, reporters came to several community libraries, but found that not many people read.
a few days ago, the reporter walked into the book store of dianliu San Ju community. There are two rows of computers on the right side of the library, and fourteen computers form a small E-reading room. The books are neatly arranged, mostly children's books and literature history books, a small part of the children's education, cooking food books, and the library also arranged tables and chairs for readers to consult books.
so elegant environment, the reporter saw only one resident is watching the "ordinary world". The staff of the community library told reporters that usually the books are usually primary school pupils, or families with children at home, and pupils usually borrow books, while some older people are used to reading books here. Literature books borrow most, and children borrow more children's books.
then the reporter came to a community library in Yanzi mountain district. At the door of the community library in the Yanzi Mountain District, it feels the elegant atmosphere of the library. The books are well arranged and the clean red floor makes the whole room be added a lot.
, but no one reads here. Staff told reporters, do not say to come to read books, usually borrowers are not too many.
community libraries do not know much about
some weekends do not open
since summer student groups have a great demand for reading, why is the community library close to home, instead of being "spoiled"?
reporters found that many community residents did not know that there were free libraries in the community to borrow books. "Where can I borrow books? I don't know. " This is the first reaction of many parents. "Go back and see, if you can borrow books freely, your children will have more choices."
"I know there is a library in the community, but our community library is open from Monday to Friday, and the weekend is not open. We just want to take our kids to see it on weekends. " Some parents told reporters.
the reporter has learned that the opening hours of community libraries do not have a unified requirement. Some are open only from Monday to Friday, and some will be open for a day at weekends. For the community library, one resident said, "with this small library, there is a place to read. It is very convenient to take it home and take it home. And it's too hot outside, and it's hot to go to the bookstore in a library. But there are also bad places in community libraries. We are busy on the working day. Children sometimes go to a tutorial class on weekends, and it closes after work or after school. And in comparison, there are more kinds of books in large bookstores.
the type of books in the community library is really inferior to that in the big bookstore. A parent told a reporter that he borrowed 6 times and basically had no books suitable for children's age. During the interview, the staff of the community library indicated that the next step is to step up publicity so that more people can understand the community library. "Books in the library will be updated this year, the types of books have been reported to the leadership, because in peacetime will pay more attention to the type of residents borrowed books, so this time will be adjusted according to the needs of the readers, which will attract more residents to borrow books to watch."
a community library staff member told the reporter that in the student group, literature books are most borrowed, and the young and middle-aged residents mainly borrow books on philosophy, economy, and family education. "These books, the next step will be full."
