Book Review: Literacy and Reading Programmes for Children and Young People

Abstract

Patrick Lo has already made a significant name for himself in the area of children, young people, literacy, and libraries, not least through his imaginative and effective use of ethnographic approaches to research in the field. This two-volume publication presents interviews with over 40 librarians from around the world (19 different countries), a truly international book: just check out the forewords and the endorsements and the interviews, their range, variety, and provenance and also the background and experience of the four editors to confirm that fact.
