- Title
„Besuch & Buch”: Soziale Bibliotheksarbeit der Stadtbibliothek Graz nach dem Vorbild der „Medienboten” (Hamburg) im Blickfeld der Gerontologie.
- Authors
Burkert, Petra
- Abstract
In 2013 the Public Library of Graz launched a home library service which is unique in Austria up to today: volunteer book messengers visit senior and homebound citizens at their homes. "Besuch&Buch" has been inspired by the "Medienboten", a socio-cultural project started by Hamburg Public Libraries in 2007. The author -- librarian and gerontologist in Graz -- has written her master thesis on "Besuch&Buch" and describes why library social projects as "Besuch&Buch" have never been more important than in today's demographic change.
