Florida, June 7 – School librarians from Florida’s educational institutions met at the municipal Center for Documentation and Pedagogical Information (CDIP) to exchange experiences and evaluate the librarian’s work and activities designed to promote reading.
The meeting, scheduled as part of the activities for the Cuban Librarian’s Day, was an opportunity to discuss the achievements and results of the projects and actions aimed at strengthening identity, aesthetic appreciation, communication and the habit of reading with the participation of students and the community.
Researcher Luis Ortiz Chaviano, CDIP’s main specialist, pointed out the need to create spaces in libraries to promote actions aimed at offering students and users a quality service and added that these exchanges allow for the improvement of library work.
Magda Pereira, methodologist of School Libraries at the General Directorate of Education, referred to the correspondence between the collections of these institutions and the demands of the documents that comprise them, in order to satisfy the interests of readers at the different educational levels.
In this regard, the board emphasized the fundamental role of librarians, which lies in their professionalism and constant improvement, to offer quality services from a library.
Librarian’s Day is celebrated every June 7, as a tribute to Antonio Bachiller y Morales, a distinguished intellectual, journalist, historian, lawyer and bibliographer, considered the father of Cuban bibliography.
