| Summary: | Quality of the personnel employed at libraries for children in pre-school or early childhood years has gained in significance nowadays. For the personnel to be employed at pre-school and children’s departments, Netherlands Institute for Higher Education based in Ankara implemented the project called “Early Childhood Development (ECD) Diploma Course” to give training in the fields of pre-school education, child psychology and children’s literature. The first program was completed at the end of 2010 while the second started in January 2011 and ended with the graduation ceremony in November 2011. Throughout the year 2011, 3-day trainings were given for 5 times in different time spans and a one-week training trip to the Netherlands was organized. It was understood that habits of reading and library usage are gained more easily in early childhood years and that public and children’s libraries assume a special role in the process of learning how to read and meeting libraries for the first time. |
