Reviews

The timing of this seminal work, edited by Joy Court, could not be better. As the status of public and school libraries comes under review and concern about the place of reading for pleasure in young people's lives continues, this excellent reference books gathers together all the evidence needed to make a case for promoting the joy of reading to children...It will surely become a standard work for anyone involved in the business of getting young people to read for pleasure. -- The School Librarian ...a praiseworthy reflection of the determination and creativity of librarians up and down the country. -- Refer I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest or passion for encouraging reading and readers...I found it inspirational and think that it would benefit anyone with an interest in the area. -- Library and Information Research Read to Succeed could be useful to many readers. For children's librarians and library managers, while this book does have many broad nationwide programs, some of the details from the programs could translate. If the librarian is in a national role or working with a larger group (state, county, city) this could give some inspiration for new programs or advice on how to better serve young clients. For teachers and teacher librarians and those working in education, some of the how to chapters could be skipped, but many of the other chapters could offer guidance on how to partner with public libraries to achieve amazing results. LIS students interested in literacy and children's services, Read To Succeed would be very helpful because it provides a broad perspective on programs and how they help children and young people. With literacy a hot topic internationally, Read To Succeed offers a unique blend of perspectives from library, education other spheres by looking at successful programs. -- Library Management By compiling this collection of expert evidence regarding the value of children's library services, Joy Court has done the profession a great service...This is a strong collection of ideas, and should be of interest to teachers, librarians and literacy advocates. -- Australian Library Journal
