Summary/Abstract: In the interview, Mgr. Helena Dlouhá, a librarian dedicated to children's literature and reading promotion, discusses her lifelong passion for books, which began in her pre-school years and was nurtured by family storytelling traditions. Her professional journey in librarianship, marked by innovative approaches to fostering reading among children, led to her receiving the prestigious MARK award from the Czech Librarians Association. Dlouhá emphasizes the importance of engaging children with books early on and the role of libraries in supporting families and communities in literacy development. She also highlights the "S knížkou do života" (Bookstart) project's impact on pre-literacy and literacy skills, and the value of offering a diverse range of reading materials to cater to different interests.
