Förskolebibliotek eller läshörna? En kvalitativ studie baserad på hur sju kommuner i Region Skåne arbetar med läs- och språkfrämjande verksamhet i förskolan.

Sammanfattning: My thesis is about how to define the concept of the preschool library and in what way it differs from other reading promotion and language development activities in preschool. Furthermore, I investigate how the preschool could work with preschool libraries as a long-term and permanent solution in the reading promotion and language development assignment in preschool. The question of why the preschool library should be integrated into the preschool's activities was also an important starting point and also how to work to legitimize and ensure the quality of the preschool library. Through semi-structured interviews, I was interested in how all informants related to the work with reading in preschool and their attitude to legitimizing the preschool library as a concept in preschool, and the preschools library being regulated by law - in the same way as the school library. The advantages and disadvantages of such a statue were discussed and where the vast majority actually took a negative view of such a decision. Aspects such as financial and resource-intensive parts and the disadvantage of "forcing" the preschools on further steps and above all in a time of staff shortages and large groups of children were some of the opinions that was identified. Furthermore the need for competence development in general regarding reading aloud, how to encourage parents and guardians to read at home and in some cases, the need for guidelines and framework, was emphasized.
