Library Section as Encouragement to Creative and Environmental Peer Learning in the Elementary School Library

Abstract

This paper highlights the important role of primary school pupils, members of the library club, in peer learning, and particularly in promoting reading and acquiring knowledge. The school library is involved in the teaching process by supporting learning, as well as by helping pupils develop habits and skills to use different sources of information. A school librarian and members of the library club provide assistance to pupils who have different areas of interest, who want more, and seek a different approach to the material. The unbound conversations among the peers and positive, relaxing atmosphere, which club members create by their activities in the library, influence the adequate use of library materials and contribute to the affirmative attitude of students towards reading, learning and knowledge.
