Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study reviewed qualitative studies that focused on library practices for supporting early literacy development. A meta‐ethnography approach was used to locate, evaluate, and synthesize the findings of these studies. Based on a search in the Web of Science and a nationwide database developed by the National Central Library, 16 articles were included in the synthesis. Drawing upon Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, the findings identified five key themes (i.e., diverse collections, innovative activities, proactive intermediary role of librarians, print‐full environment, and community partnership) related to library practices that support early literacy. By interpreting the findings of the review, suggestions and implications were discussed for library services supporting early literacy.
