This document discusses strategies for improving early childhood literacy programs in Northamptonshire, England. It focuses on expanding the Bookstart Corner program, which promotes book sharing and early literacy skills in children's centers. Key strategies include embedding Bookstart Corner in all 37 of the county's children's centers, training staff, and engaging partners like home visitors and libraries to increase the program's reach. An evaluation found the program successfully engaged hard to reach families and improved both children's early language and parents' confidence in sharing books. Funding is requested to build on these successes and target services to 2-year-olds.

Social isolation and local government in japan
This document discusses social isolation in Japan and the role of local governments and public libraries in combating it. Social isolation affects the elderly, "hikikomori," disabled, single mothers, and low-income individuals. It is exacerbated by Japan's aging population and changing family structures. Many elderly live alone and do not interact daily. Some die alone undiscovered for weeks. Local governments implement initiatives like community centers and home visits. Libraries in places like Hagi City have expanded services, increased visitors and books borrowed by becoming community hubs that foster interaction and address isolation. Partnerships between libraries and local organizations further this goal.

The document discusses a research study conducted by the Carnegie UK Trust on public library services in the 21st century. The study found that (1) most people see libraries as important community assets but fewer actually use them, (2) improving digital offerings, collections, and information about services could encourage more library use, and (3) there are open questions around measuring libraries' social impact, defining their core purpose, how services should be provided, the role of library buildings, and the benefits of national coordination. The Carnegie UK Trust aims to promote further debate on these issues to help strengthen libraries.

Bury children's centres powerpoint for northampton (3)
The document describes a case study of partnership between children's centres, libraries, and registrar services in Bury, England. Initially, a children's centre coordinator secured part-time office space in the local library. This led to increased collaboration, including jointly offering family services and sharing resources. Based on parental feedback about travel difficulties, the registrar began offering birth registrations at the Ramsbottom library. This was later expanded to 5 children's centre locations. Over 1,100 births have been registered this way. The partnership benefits families through improved access to a wider range of early support and helps partners work more efficiently.
A catalyst council is ...
This document discusses the role of libraries in developing social capital within communities. It outlines different roles libraries can take, including being a community hub, catalyst, or facilitator, depending on the needs and existing infrastructure of the community. As community hubs, libraries help affluent communities organize themselves, while as catalysts they provide support to deprived communities. As facilitators, libraries help emerging communities build networks. The document also discusses how librarians can become active community leaders and provide programming to meet community needs. Finally, it notes that libraries must be learners to adapt to changing community circumstances and seize opportunities.

The document discusses how digital media can help support the right to the city by creating more inclusive public spaces. It talks about using digital technologies to build hybrid digital/physical spaces that provide access to information and resources through urban mediaspaces and ecolibraries. These spaces aim to reinvent libraries and public areas as sustainable cultural hubs through projects like Aarhus Urban Mediaspace and the new Helsinki Central Library design competition.
What could lean thinking do for me
Lean thinking is proposed to help a library service address budget pressures through more efficient operations. It could help integrate partners to build cultural programs more effectively, centralize services to reduce costs, and challenge traditional practices to free up resources for priority activities. Lean thinking may also enable libraries to take a greater role in public health initiatives and serve as hubs for multiple council services through new partnerships and community involvement in service delivery. The overall aim is to maintain or improve current service levels through innovative, collaborative approaches that make the best use of limited resources.
Social mirror for social prescribing
The RSA is piloting a social network-based intervention called Social Mirror to increase wellbeing in deprived areas of England. Social Mirror builds on the RSA's work using social network analysis for social policy outcomes. It provides individuals a map of their social connections to help address health issues like depression and isolation linked to poor health. In a pilot, over 150 users found the tool helpful, with some joining new groups, feeling less isolated, and inspired to participate more locally. Healthcare practitioners could use Social Mirror to better understand community resources and prescribe social activities to improve health outcomes, though evidence of its economic impacts is still emerging. The pilot suggests it helps users feel more part of their community and knowledgeable about local opportunities.

Social isolation ib pcc
The document discusses the social isolation that can result from victimization. Victims may withdraw from life and community due to fear, distrust, and dysfunction. Data from a UN crime survey shows that those victimized are less likely to trust police and avoid risky areas, and feel less community support. Being victimized can lead to health issues and social problems. Victimization increases social isolation both for individuals and broader communities by reducing mobility and involvement in social activities. Reducing social isolation through community engagement and assistance for victims can help reduce crime.

They should do something northants3
The document discusses issues with large organizations and proposes ways to make them more responsive. It notes that organizations often function more like machines than organisms, prioritizing stability over responsiveness to their environment. This makes it difficult for organizations to change course even when problems emerge. The document suggests viewing organizations more like organisms with senses, integrated parts, information sharing, and a purpose/meaning. It also advocates for more input types, feedback loops, peer accountability and clarified missions to encourage quality, responsiveness and positive change. Heroes and catalysts are needed to drive such reforms within organizations.

Poverty, place and low literacy
Jason Vit's (Literacy Hubs Manager, National Literacy Trust) presentation to the CILIP 2017 Conference in Manchester #CILIPConf17
National Literacy Trust Hubs are place-based solutions to intergenerational low literacy. Five are now operating in the UK. The Hubs harness community assets to address poverty and joblessness through campaigning, influencing and supporting literacy attitudes and behaviours. We target wards, groups and communities most at risk of low literacy.
Partnerships are key to our Hub model. The National Literacy Trust link local authorities, libraries, sporting and cultural organisations, faith and voluntary community groups, as well as businesses, health and education organisations.
This presentation will outline the Hub approach, look at some of the data used to identify groups in greatest need and highlight a few case studies as examples.
Connect the dots 2014 National Standards
This document discusses the National Standards for Family-School Partnerships developed by the National PTA. It defines effective family engagement as having three components: a shared responsibility between schools and families, being continuous from early childhood through college/career, and occurring across various learning contexts including home, school, after-school programs, etc. Research shows that family involvement at home has the greatest impact on student achievement. The six National Standards for engaging families are then presented: welcoming all families, communicating effectively, supporting student success, speaking up for every child, sharing power, and collaborating with the community. Tools for implementing the standards like an assessment guide are also mentioned.
