| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 公共行政與政策學系 === 105 === Inspired by the Bookstart movement in Europe, Taiwan has launched a similar preschool reading program, which has received the recognition of most parents in the nation. The initial reading program spanning from 2013 to 2016 has been sponsored by Ministry of Education. Many local libraries has joined the project. Focusing on Puli Library, the study explored how the institute carried out the preschool reading project. Specifically, three aspects have been examined: the internal organization, intergovernmental relations, and the interaction of the two. Data were collected by interviews and observations. The results have shown that the reading program was adequately implemented in Puli library although it was situated in a rural town. The government investment to the town library sustained the implementation of preschool reading program, which in turn developed into a trustworthy civic platform of service. Specifically, both internal and external factors facilitated the project. It has been first found that the librarians were active and enthusiastic; the top manager not only had good leadership but also opened to good decision making. In addition, the program benefited from the outside units such as the county governing the public library. The study implies that the government should (1) increase finical investment and other supports to preschool reading programs, (2) enhance cooperation and coordination of intergovernmental relations and (3) diversify the cultural themes of reading programs.
