Child Aid, in partnership with PROBIGUA (Projecto Bibliotecas Guatemala – a very successful programme that provides a mobile library service to schools and funds the service by providing Spanish Language lessons to non-Spanish speakers) has been initiating projects to further the development of library services in Guatemala for ten years. During that time a number of school libraries and a mobile library have been established. A need to train those involved in the provision of library services became apparent. A project was developed to provide training through a series of workshops to promote and support the development of library science skills in librarians in order that libraries can provide better skills in research, literacy, and community information. The idea is to create and support libraries where discovery, exploration and the love of reading and learning are promoted. ALF is pleased to be able to assist with this training.
