Introduction

The master's degree in School Libraries and the Promotion of Reading is organized jointly by the UAB and the UB.

The training it provides prepares students to manage school libraries, design centre-specific reading plans, select and use children's and youth fiction, and develop social projects that have an impact on the population's reading habits.
This master's degree is aimed particularly at primary and secondary school teachers, librarians, and documentarists, as well as cultural mediators and promotors, instructors, cultural managers, and publishing professionals.

The Government of Catalonia's Ministry of Education has officially recognized the master's degree course in the teaching profile of reading and school libraries. This is one of the new types of specialist that public schools can request to form part of the school's teaching staff.

The master's degree has a total study load of 60 credits and is delivered through a combination of face-to-face and distance learning.
