This study examines how librarians in Georgia's K-12 public schools foster positive reading cultures. Using qualitative research, it explores how librarians promote reading engagement by creating inviting library spaces, curating diverse collections, developing programs that encourage reading for pleasure and academic growth, and collaborating with school community members. The research is guided by the Reading Culture framework, adapted from a combination of the cultures framework and the Expectancy-Value Theory of Achievement Motivation. This framework contextualizes how librarians influence reading culture through resources, programming, and relationships. These study's findings contain best practices for encouraging student reading engagement and increased literacy growth.
Le rôle des bibliothécaires dans la promotion d'une culture positive de la lecture dans les écoles en Géorgie
Résumé
Cette étude examine comment les bibliothécaires dans les écoles publiques de Géorgie K-12 favorisent la culture de la lecture positive. En utilisant la recherche qualitative, on explore la façon dont les bibliothécaires promeuvent l’engagement de la lecture en créant des espaces de bibliothèques engageants, la sélection de collections diverses, le développement de programmes qui encourage la lecture pour le plaisir et le développement académique, et en collaborant avec les membres de la communauté scolaire. La recherche est guidée par le cadre de la culture de la lecture, adapté à partir d’une combinaison de cadres culturels et de la théorie de la motivation de la réussite fondée sur l’attente et la valeur (Expectancy-Value Theory of Achievement Motivation). Ce cadre contextualise la façon dont les bibliothécaires influencent la culture de la lecture à travers les ressources, les activités et les relations humaines. Les résultats de cette étude regroupent les meilleures pratiques pour encourager la lecture chez l’élève et favoriser l’apprentissage de la littératie.
