HeadSpace Efford09
HeadSpace is a pilot program in UK libraries aimed at youth ages 11-19. It provides a space for socializing, activities like gaming, workshops on topics like manga drawing, and opportunities for youth to volunteer and help plan library events. The Efford library HeadSpace has expanded with two age groups, sees 40 young people engaged in activities, and hosts innovative events. Youth say it is fun, helps them make new friends, and allows noise in the library during parties.
Working in partnership: libraries and youth agencies (images)
Libraries and youth agencies in Plymouth have partnered together to provide educational and creative programs for young people. The Youth Offending Prevention Service aims to prevent youth crime through literacy programs at the local libraries. Partnerships between the library's Outreach Support Officer and youth workers have included a summer workshop series and a film project where young people created a short film about typical library sessions. Successful partnerships are built on communication, shared goals of helping young people, and flexibility.
Skoobmobile
The Skoobmobile program promotes literacy and play for children and families across Renfrewshire. Since 2015, the mobile library has hosted over 17,000 visits from children and 3,400 visits from adults. The program focuses on serving schools and neighborhoods more than a mile from libraries, as well as areas with high poverty rates. Activities include storytelling, reading sessions, play activities, and distributing books to children to encourage literacy. The goal is to help develop early language and reading skills to reduce attainment gaps, support parents, and promote library services. However, securing ongoing funding remains a challenge.
The science of Bookbug
The Bookbug programme in Scotland encourages parents and carers to share stories, songs, and rhymes with children from birth. It offers free Bookbug Sessions in libraries and other community venues, as well as targeted home visits for families that need additional support. Research shows that activities like reading, singing, and storytelling from an early age are linked to better cognitive development in children. The sessions focus on using rhymes, music, movement, and bonding through eye contact and laughter to stimulate early learning and attachment.
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.

The impact of reading groups
Despite budget cuts, there are over 1,100 library and non-library based reading groups in Scotland. The audit found a variety of group types, most commonly visually impaired, adult learners, and young mums groups. Reading groups are facilitated by both library staff and volunteers, and meet in various locations from libraries to cafes. Most groups use library collections and budgets to choose books, selecting popular titles or awards winners. Areas of good practice identified include promoting groups online and working to share collections between authorities.
Appiness
The North Ayrshire Appiness project brings library resources and families together using educational apps to support early childhood learning. It aims to develop digital skills for young children and parents. Over four weeks, it covers internet safety, literacy, numeracy and more using iPads, iPods and Android tablets. The project involves early years centers, primary schools, libraries and caregivers. Participant feedback was positive, with parents feeling more aware of educational apps and how to use technology safely with children. The project also includes technology classes for primary students and training staff and students as digital champions.

Ray Pidzamecky M.S.W. RSW says “Youth of today are the promise of the future and represent a tremendous untapped resource. They are energetic, positive and are extremely well positioned to support others in their peer groups. Through inexpensive and purposeful training, young people themselves can provide an effective and efficient resource to one another and support caregivers responsible for the well-being of today’s youth.”

Introducing the Nal'ibali reading-for-enjoyment campaign
Nal’ibali (isiXhosa for “here’s the story”) is a national reading-for-enjoyment campaign to spark children’s potential through storytelling and reading. Children who are immersed in great and well-told stories – and in languages they understand – become inspired and are motivated to learn to read for themselves. Such personally rewarding learning is a recipe for successful literacy development. Nal’ibali is driven by PRAESA (the Project for the Study of Alternative Education), Times Media and a growing number of partners. Through sustained mentoring and collaboration with communities, reading clubs, literacy organisations and volunteers of all ages, as well as a vibrant media campaign, Nal’ibali is helping to root a culture of literacy into the fabric of everyday life in South Africa.

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaLAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
