International Children's Book Day, reading should also keep up with the trend of the Times

Reading is an eternal theme for the librarian. On the surface, the reading of this thing seems to be getting more and more attention, from the party's 18 major reports "to carry out the national reading activities" to the 2014 "Government work report" to "advocate for the people to read", and then to this year's "Government work Report" to "promote universal reading, building a learning society, improve national quality", Popular reading is gaining more and more attention. The actual situation is that the library's book borrowing rate is getting lower, TV, network, games and so on, a variety of entertainment activities accounted for a large number of time can be used for reading.

April 2 is a Danish fairy tale Master Andersen's birthday, 1967 International Children's Book Association, the Day as "International Children's books Day" to arouse people's love for reading and children's books attention. Now the most popular point of view: From the doll grabbed, doing everything to start from the doll, it seems that reading this thing is also to start from the doll? A company has done a survey, 11 to 13 years old children's hobbies, reading ranked sixth, live in TV, games, online video, sports and mobile phone. The findings were published at the Shanghai International Children's Fair last year. It can be seen that the attention of children is being dispersed by more and more electronic products, which is an indisputable fact.

In fact, if you want to read the volume, today's children are no less than the books we have read before, we belong to the reading thirst, because there is no book, almost no choice, can find books to read, now children have been surrounded by books, do not know what to choose the book to read. Sometimes we think that the classics should be able to cross the ages, when people will like to benefit people, but in fact it is not so. I remember once in a lecture, I found an example to illustrate the difference between search engine and database, in the collection of information as reference materials, they are different, using the "dream of Red Mansions" in the Two poems: "Empty fence old garden Autumn no trace, thin moon clear Frost dream known", and then incidentally mentioned the background of the poem, The wing Chrysanthemum competition in Grand View Garden and so on, I think this is a more classic example, the general cause and effect of the majority of students should know, to get a story with students familiar with the problem can also be described as examples, can be more vivid to speak of, who want to say when found below the students did not respond, asked, Few people know the Chrysanthemum poetry in a dream of red mansions, suddenly feel a little disappointed. And a daughter to talk to the Mermaid topic, asked if she had read the story, she said that there is a fairy tale about the mermaid, but did not read, do not know the name of the fairy tale is "the daughter of the sea." So look at the children now, the classics that we have always thought of, even the necessary books, but they are not necessarily read.

But now children also have their favorite books. My colleague's son, is a Harry Potter fan, not only after watching all the movies, but also read the entire series of Harry Potter novels, the characters, the plot are very familiar with, and we are familiar with the dream of Red mansions. And I found on several occasions, in the four great classics, many children are most familiar with the "Three Kingdoms", the beginning of the time very puzzled, because I am in fact, the most unfamiliar in the four famous is "The Three Kingdoms", later learned that most of them are from the game of the tri-Kingdoms are familiar with the characters and stories. Remember daughter like anime, many anime characters in Japan, including anime Masters can be familiar with, every year in Hangzhou, she will go to the animation festival, several times also went to Shanghai to go there the animation festival, is said to have a lot of anime department books, online there are various types of fan novels and so on, and I do not know about these. Visible for reading, the generation gap is objective, they like things we can not understand, and we like the work they also do not like to get up. But I don't think it's possible to think that now children are not as good as they used to be, and now they have more of a combination of reading and movies and games and more. Although they have been holding a book for less time than we used to, they get more information and read more from the Internet, cell phones, etc. than we did before.

Today, on the microblog of the library newspaper, they listed some of the book covers of Andersen's fairy tales, probably a souvenir of "International Children's Book Day" and Anderson, but still wonder how many of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy tales The children of today have seen? Do these books still appeal to them? In fact, we often complain that children are not as fond of reading as they used to be, making one or another recommended list of books that we want them to read, but the children are often ungrateful. So, is there any way to change a way of thinking, to make some of their loved form? In fact, reading should also keep pace with the times!
