This is discussed in the context of two reports published in Ireland during 2002, The borrowers at school and What's the story? The reading choices of young people in Ireland. The availability of books, funding for school libraries and the encouragement of reading are viewed in the light of changing curricula in schools and national initiatives for the promotion of reading. The contrasts between government concern about literacy levels and actual funding and practical support for libraries and reading is highlighted.

This, allied to technical advances in printing towards the end of that century, gave life to the picturebook as we know it today. Picturebooks in the twenty-first century have changed and developed both in physical form and in content, making them increasingly less easy for libraries and archives to regulate. This essay considers the possibilities and problems attendant on collecting picturebooks, before moving on to a discussion about how collections might arrive at guidelines for collecting. It then suggests ten picturebooks published in English as possible additions to a collection, one for each decade from 1914 to 2014, representing excellence in the development of the form.
