It is of utmost importance for the modern libraries to be aware of the importance of their role in the development of the functional literacy in a today's society in which we face a constantly growing need to master information management. It is therefore up to libraries to embrace their role in this process by way of offering their users appropriate opportunities and providing them with applicable sources. It is the task of the library to recognise the needs of its users, to acknowledge the requirements and the way of life of the community in which it coexists and to launch programmes, to conceive projects for them and also to provide its present and future users with services. The Town Library of Ogulin has recognised this importance of being included in reading promotion projects and it strives to be further included in as many projects as possible at different levels (ranging from international to local), whereas it also keeps putting on workshop of its own, carrying out projects and organising different events for its users, trying to be part of their everyday lives and to inspire them to read from an early childhood. This thesis highlights the most important reading promotion projects, as is the one on the international level called “Our little Library” and the “Workshop for the little ones”, a project that has been launched by the Library itself, devised for children up to 36 months of age.
