ABSTRACT

With the introduction of ‘Reading One Book a Semester’ in the 2015 curriculum, more and more activities are being done to read the same books on a classroom basis. Accordingly, librarians need to properly support the teacher’s book recommendation and book selection process, which consists of classes. This study aims to establish effective school library services based on this by identifying differences in elementary school students’ reading interests when reading a book recommended by a teacher in the class. To this end, all students of A Elementary School were given a book selection class by class to select one of the teacher’s recommended books, and students were interested in reading before and after reading. As a result, students who read the books they chose showed higher ‘interest after reading’ than those who read the books they did not choose. However, students who had high ‘interest before reading’ even though they read books they did not choose showed high ‘interest after reading’. ‘Interest before reading’ were higher for students who were provided with book information evenly and used the school library more frequently. Therefore, librarians need to provide a variety of book information and services to increase the frequency of school library use to increase ‘interest before reading’, which positively affects self-selective reading.
