Easy-to-read

During the 6, 7, and 8 in Octuberit took place in Barcelona the International Conferences on Easy Reading. Here are grouped the materials that have been prepared in order to be read or understood by people with reading or understanding dificulties.
The IFLA has already published some guidelines about how should be that kind of materials. Those guidelines have been translated into Catalan by the Colegi Oficial de Bibliotecaris-Documentalistes de Catalunya, that also have arranged the Conferences (COBDC), besides la Associació Lectura Fácil, and the Centre for Easy-to-read in Stockholm.
Among the derived conclusion are the next ones: “The idea about easy reading goes with the idea of reading democracy”; “ It is important to encourage the habit of reading. Scolastic librarie can help the users and collaborate to develope this project”; “The law about books, reading and libraries must take into account the need for make, distribute and spread the Easy Reading materials”.
