Promotion of reading activities in 2018

Visiting the School Library

We will visit a school library in Hodogaya Ward to introduce the activities, events, and voices of teachers to the residents of the city.
The first visit destination is Hatsunegaoka Elementary School.

We talked to Mr. Hatakeyama, a school librarian, and Mr. Kato, who is in charge of the library. 
Hatsunegaoka Elementary School is located in the center of Hodogaya Ward and is surrounded by nature-rich "Murase no Mori" and emerging residential areas.

I would like to ask Professor Kato!
Person in charge: What kind of books are popular these days?
Dr. Kato: The next book is popular with children, isn't it?
★A popular book at Hatsunegaoka Elementary School
◆"Kaidan Oumagaki Gakuen"
Scary books (youkai, ghost stories, etc.) are popular.
This work is easy to read because there are many pictures and it is not too scary.
◆"Leave it to Ariquii,"
The cover is cute, and there are illustrations everywhere in the text, which is popular.
◆"Harry Potter Series"
It's a classic, but it's very popular.
There are many children who borrow paperback book types.
Person in charge: What have you been doing recently?
Dr. Kato: During this year's Reading Activity Promotion Month (November), a “Book Marathon” was held with the goal of reading 100 books in each class. .
This was done not because of the number of books I read, but because of the desire to enjoy reading books, but we were able to achieve them in many classes.
In addition, since this year, computers have been installed in the library and used in classes.

I would like to ask Mr. Hatakeyama!
Person in charge: What was the reason for becoming a "school librarian"?
Mr. Hatakeyama: Initially, I wanted to work in a public library, but when I settled down, I learned about the existence of a "school librarian" and thought that there was such a way, so I decided to apply.
Person in charge: Have you changed the image you had before becoming a school librarian?
Mr. Hatakeyama: It was the image of "library = working silently in a quiet place", but in fact it was completely different.
There were many jobs to interact with the children, which was very interesting, and it was something I couldn't understand unless I experienced it.
You were disappointed in a good way.
Person in charge: What kind of place do you feel rewarding?
Mr. Hatakeyama: When the children ask, "Do you have such a book?" If you can go through the book as you want, the expressions of the children will be brightened quickly and will be pleased with "This is this!" It's a very rewarding moment.
By the way, children seem to like the relaxed atmosphere of the library, which is different from the classroom, and enjoy reading slowly.
In addition, the teachers also consult about the teaching materials used in each class, but we are working hard to respond to requests!
Person in charge: What is Hatakeyama's "Recommended Book"?
Mr. Hatakeyama: The next book is a work that can be recommended from children to adults regardless of age, so please read it once!
★Mr. Hatakeyama's recommended book
◆"Wunderder,"
This story tells a boy with severe face disabilities.
It's the first time I go to a general elementary school at the age of 10. The story is drawn from multiple perspectives, such as the person, parent, brother, friend, bully child, etc., and is drawn into the Dondon story.
Please read it!
◆"Mumin Series"
It's a pretty image, but that's not the only one. It also includes a philosophical aspect.
There is also a view of the world of illustrations.

[Connect]
When I entered the library, I first saw the scene where the computer was installed.
"Why is a computer in the library? ?」 。 It was a scene I had never seen so much, so I asked the teachers.
There are three school libraries, which are important bases for reading activities, the Learning Center, the Information Center, and the Reading Center.
In order to enhance the quality of learning, Hatsunegaoka Elementary School has been playing a role in this program since 2018.
It was said that a puta was set up and used for classes. New schools that have not yet been introduced much at other schools
It is an attempt, and with the thought that "this scene will become common in the future", it is a new one as soon as possible.
I was surprised that it was amazing.
We asked you about various efforts to make the work of the school library worthwhile and enjoy reading.
Children can enjoy reading "relaxing and relaxing" because they have enthusiasm and ingenuity.
I felt it again.
Even if you are viewing the homepage, you can stop by a library facility near you and say "relaxing and relaxing".
Why don't you enjoy reading?
