I am doing a project on Programs offered by Finland Libraries that are geared towards improving reading skills (And sponsored by the government). However I cannot seem to find any information on the web site. Can you please direct me to where i can find out more information.
Answer
First, I would like to refer to a question answered in this service some years ago about Luku-Suomi ("Reading Finland") project (2001-2004): http://www.libraries.fi/en-GB/ask_librarian/question.aspx?ID=927122d6-6…
A leaflet in English has been published about the school libraries development project, a part of Luku-Suomi program:
A Good School Library. Authors: Hannele Frantsi, Kaarina Kolu , Seija Salminen. Year: 2006. Available as a PDF: http://www.oph.fi/download/47629_good_school_library.pdf
