Transforming the Reading Preferences of Today’s Youth in the Digital Age
The article deals with the transformation of readers’ preferences and the formation of a “new reader” at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century. In the study, the authors draw attention to the shift in the priority of the format of youth reading in favor of digital, to the loss of the former role of libraries as centers of non-formal education, as well as to the need to provide assistance to children and young people on the part of “teacher of literature”. An international study undertaken in Russia, the U.S., and the Czech Republic touches upon socio-cultural changes that influenced the reading process among the youth of these countries and the particular interest of the analyzed age group in the fantasy genre, which indicates a change in the reading preferences of young people and the need for understanding this process both in theoretical aspects and taking into account the results of empirical research. The authors conclude that it is advisable to determine the scale of values of a modern person by means of literary pedagogy, to bring it to a common denominator in the intercultural space. As the leading genre of revealed reader preferences, fantasy is becoming a multimedia phenomenon and is shifting the age boundaries of potential readers around the world.

Report From CIL 2023: The Metaverse, Change, and the Future of Libraries
LaPierre is fascinated by the future of libraries, and who isn't? Even in speculative fiction, future worlds typically include some kind of library, demonstrating how deeply the concept is rooted in their collective imagination. Although their predictions often miss the mark, forecasting trends and solutions fuels creative growth in the field. Shaping libraries to meet future needs is a big part of what drives decision making today. Therefore, she was eager to attend the Metaverse, Change & the Future for Libraries track on the last day of the Computers in Libraries (CIL) 2023 conference in Arlington VA. The first CIL conference she attended 15 years ago included a session about the virtual world Second Life and its potential for libraries. At that time, Second Life was predicted to be used for such things as business meetings, online classes, and reference services. However, it turned out users primarily wanted to engage in the virtual world for entertainment or escapism. It didn't become enmeshed with daily life on a larger scale as many had anticipated. So, she was especially interested in attending the first session of the aforementioned track to see whether the metaverse, as currently envisioned, will be any different.
