Abstract

In preparing the traditional Night with Andersen at the Faculty of Education of Charles University, the faculty library regularly collaborates with students of preprimary and primary pedagogy, as well as with students from other teacher education programmes. In 2024, this librarian–pedagogical collaboration resulted in an evening-long reading lesson based on Petr Sís’s book The Conference of the Birds, implemented through the three-phase learning model (E-U-R). By working together with (future) teachers, the library aligns itself with the repeatedly discussed concept of library pedagogy, or, more specifically, the idea of the teaching librarian (in international discourse referred to as teaching librarians or Bibliothekspädagogik).
