Abstract
The Finnish national core curriculum offers a framework for designing local curricula. This case study examined how teacher-public librarian partnerships cooperated to plan and implement their local curricula. Their major goal was to plan and implement cooperative activities that would promote students’ motivation to read. Teachers and librarians representing seven partnerships were interviewed and their curricula analyzed. All library-school partnerships except one included a plan in their local curricula to demonstrate the school-library cooperation through concrete activities to support students’ motivation to read. These activities were implemented in practice, but teachers participated little in the planning or implementation of them. More cooperation and involvement from teachers would be needed to meet the core curriculum’s demands for fostering motivation to read.
