The Children and Young Adults section are working on a revised edition of the 'Guidelines for Children's Libraries Services' first published by the Section in 2003. This new standard will promote and encourage the development of effective library services for children by giving guidance to the international library community about children's needs and rights on information, literacy and reading. The intention is to help public libraries implement high quality children's services in the digital age by providing up to date knowledge and professional insight for those who have to strategically plan or deliver children's library services and programmes. The new Guidelines will inform decision makers and those involved in developing policies.

We are consulting widely on the revision of the Guidelines and would appreciate input from the Libraries Serving Persons with Print Disabilities Section in response to the following questions by Friday 29 July 2016.

Q1: Please provide some content for the following topics in relation to library services for children:

Collection development and management

Physical and digital resources

Role of technology

Programs and activities including community outreach

Q2: What recommendation(s) can you suggest for inclusion in the Guidelines.

Q3:  What useful resources (print or web based) could be included in the Guidelines.
