- Abstract
In the modern society children grow up surrounded by different media, so the aim of the paper is to point out the importance of media education and media literacy, which, together with the parents as the main educators in the family, should also be carried out by children librarians. Nowadays children consume media contents from the earliest age, and the impact which media have on them depends largely on the choice of the contents. Since the children are given the first elements of media education by their parents, the essential prerequisite of the children's media literacy is the parents' media literacy. Parental mediation is the most significant element in regulating the impact of media on children, and this impact is an important factor in the formation of the young person. The concept of parental mediation denotes the strategy that parents use in the process of media education and media literacy of their children. The librarians for children and young adults very often take the role of media educators, since the children spend a lot of their free time in libraries using different media. They organize and carry out numerous programs aimed at meaningful spending of free time for the youngest users, thus promoting media education and media literacy. In everyday work with children, the librarians apply an active, instructive, and didactical mediation. This way they take part in media literacy of new generations, educating them in such a way that the impact of media has the least possible negative consequences, and, at the same time, has very strong positive effects.
