Children’s and young adults’ culture exists in multiple forms and media, from nursery rhymes and oral storytelling to videogames, from printed books to eBooks... Libraries play a key role in preserving this cultural heritage and in giving access to it. How are they doing this? What must they do now so that this heritage is not lost and cultural diversity is preserved? How are they giving young people access to their cultural heritage?

The expected audience is likely to include children and young adults’ librarians, National Libraries, libraries serving indigenous people, librarians working in audiovisual and multimedia, storytellers and other performers for children, other professionals working on children’s and young adult’s reading, students and university professors and partners of libraries in joint reading promotion programmes.
