This pilot study examines the problem, "Has adult
input into children's library services, resulted in
services that children perceive as not relevant to
their own recreational and information needs?".
In examining this problem a questionnaire survey was
conducted of a specific population of children, parents
and teachers. In addition to the questionnaire survey,
structured record sheets were used to record children's
use of the public library serving the specific population,
and children's services actually provided by the local
library. The population consisted of middle and upper
primary school children, from Holt Primary School, Canberra,
and their parents and teachers.
The study indicated discrepancies in what children
perceived as important library services for children and
what parents and teachers perceived as important.
Discrepancies were also found between what children
wanted and what was actually provided by the local library
service for children.
