本研究旨從圖書館員觀點,探討公共圖書館促進家庭參與的實踐。本研究為質性研究,研究對象包含18位任職於臺灣鄉鎮公共圖書館館員,透過訪談法蒐集資料,並利用主題分析法整理與分析資料。研究結果顯示,公共圖書館館員對於家庭參與的認知,著重於家庭成員的陪伴和親子共讀。圖書館推動家庭參與的作法,主要包括:關注少數族群的閱讀需求,提供深入社區的駐點服務。此外,圖書館根據不同家庭的需求和興趣,提供多樣化的閱讀活動。圖書館亦積極與不同的單位合作,以擴大家庭參與的影響範圍。然而,在推動家庭參與的過程中,圖書館亦面臨一些困境。根據研究結果,本研究對公共圖書館促進家庭參與提出五項實務建議。
This study aims to explore the promotion of family engagement practices in public libraries from librarians' perspectives. This is a qualitative study, involving 18 librarians working in township libraries in Taiwan. Data were gathered through interviews, organized and analyzed employing a thematic analysis approach. Research findings show that public librarians' perception of family engagement predominantly focuses on family members' company and parent-child shared reading. Libraries promote family engagement primarily through close attention to reading needs of minority groups, and active in-depth community-based resident services. In addition, libraries provide diverse reading activities based on the needs and interests of various families. At the same time, libraries take a proactive approach in partnership working to expand the impact of family engagement. Nevertheless, libraries have encountered obstruction in the process. Based on the findings, this study puts forward suggestions for research and practice regarding promotion of family engagement in public libraries.
