The study of readings tastes and preference of youth in Havana.
Achieve this research by conducting a taste and preference study every two years in the libraries of the public library system of the city of Havana, to be able to determine how user interests are changing and to enrich in a systematic and dynamic way the work strategies established in conformance with new options and criteria. This continuity of study will ensure that the librarian’s work with children, teens, and young adults remains fresh and vital.
