Creating the future: preserving, digitizing and accessing all forms of
children's and young adults’ cultural heritage

Children’s and young adults’ culture exists in multiple forms and media,
from nursery rhymes and oral storytelling to videogames, from printed books
to eBooks... Libraries play a key role in preserving this cultural heritage
and in giving access to it. How are they doing this? What must they do now
so that this heritage is not lost and cultural diversity is preserved? How
are they giving young people access to their cultural heritage?

IFLA Section Libraries for Children and Young Adults, IFLA Core Activity on
Preservation and Conservation (PAC), Thailand Knowledge Park (TK Park), the
Thai Section of IBBY (ThaiBBY)  and the Thai Library Association invite you
