50th Anniversary of the Children's Section: history of the Section and plans for the future

IFLA Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. It was founded in 1955 in order to promote and support the development of library services for children and young adults. The Section's numerous activities over the last fifty years include the organization of seminars and implementation of conference programs, organization of pre- and post conferences, issuing publications and guidelines, overseeing projects and networking. Strategic goals of the Section in the future are based on the right of each child to have access to information. Its activities are related to the promotion and encouragement of all types of literacies for all children and young adults, especially of the skills required by the new technological age, and to the development of parthership for the enrichment and exchange of resources. Sharing and networking may be considered crucial to the work of the Section as it strives to be an international forum for the exchange of knowledge, experiences, ideas and projects. It also aims to be a forum for discussion, cooperation and development and to open channels for information on services for children and young adults all over the world.
