我國「閱讀起步走」計畫的政策執行分析-以埔里鎮立圖書館為例

從英國發起的Bookstart閱讀運動已有25年的歷史，此項閱讀運動風潮也從歐洲吹向亞洲，在臺灣已是全國性的閱讀計畫，對於學齡前開始接觸閱讀的觀念，獲得臺灣的新生兒父母認同，教育部也透過實質的補助方式，賦予閱讀起步走計畫具體的推廣使命，從2009-2012年開始實施第一階段的補助，實施成效獲得青睞，2013-2016年接續展開第二階段補助，目前全臺灣鄉鎮市立圖書館正積極推廣閱讀起步走計畫，該計畫在初期採取自發性辦理，有教育部經費注挹後成為全面施行的閱讀推廣運動。本研究主要以第一線推廣閱讀起步走運動的地方公共圖書館-埔里鎮立圖書館為個案研究對象，探討在基層的圖書館如何執行閱讀起步走計畫?從執行單位的角色端看我國閱讀起步走的政策運作情形，討論主軸為三個面向:府際互動面、內部組織面、協力面所架構出的執行關係，三者的運作與互動情形現況為何?深入了解地方公共圖書館推動閱讀計畫的運作模式，及三方協力的互動機制，透過質性訪談的方式進行，了解南投縣政府文化局、埔里鎮立圖書館、協力團體間的執行、分工細節等執行情形、從觀察者的視角參與觀察館內相關活動，進入埔里鎮立圖書館場域，紀錄閱讀起步起計畫推動現況。研究發現埔里鎮立圖書館在推廣閱讀起步走計畫時，不因城鄉差距而造成執行窒礙，分析其成功因素主要為:(1)圖書館內部共識與外部協力相輔相成;(2)內部組織領導風格和館長決策彈性大;(3)館員服務熱忴高(4)協力支援的重要因素等，成就埔里鎮立圖書館閱讀起步走計畫辦理，另外因有規劃的每年度持續推廣，讓埔里鎮立圖書館推廣閱讀工作在地方樹立口碑，逐漸成為學齡前兒童家長信賴的公共服務，營造出舒適的活動平台，讓學齡前的閱讀推廣能在埔里鎮永續發展。本文對於我國執行閱讀起步走計畫的建議有:(1)中央政府增加挹注經費;(2)加強推廣程度;(3)府際間須具有順暢溝通平台; (4)資源跨域協力的重要性; (5)閱讀主題多元化等。

Inspired by the Bookstart movement in Europe, Taiwan has launched a similar preschool reading program, which has received the recognition of most parents in the nation. The initial reading program spanning from 2013 to 2016 has been sponsored by Ministry of Education. Many local libraries has joined the project. Focusing on Puli Library, the study explored how the institute carried out the preschool reading project. Specifically, three aspects have been examined: the internal organization, intergovernmental relations, and the interaction of the two. Data were collected by interviews and observations. The results have shown that the reading program was adequately implemented in Puli library although it was situated in a rural town. The government investment to the town library sustained the implementation of preschool reading program, which in turn developed into a trustworthy civic platform of service. Specifically, both internal and external factors facilitated the project. It has been first found that the librarians were active and enthusiastic; the top manager not only had good leadership but also opened to good decision making. In addition, the program benefited from the outside units such as the county governing the public library. The study implies that the government should (1) increase finical investment and other supports to preschool reading programs, (2) enhance cooperation and coordination of intergovernmental relations and (3) diversify the cultural themes of reading programs.
