Description: Rapid and intensive changes in the information landscape cause changes in social relationships and, consequently, in relations between generations. Within their social role libraries should work actively to reduce age segregation and isolation, and build cohesive society through intergenerational services and programmes. The authors speak about the intergenerational dialogue in libraries - theories, research and practice - and about reading as a link between generations, thus offering to libraries strategies for establishing social cohesion.
Notes: Proceedings based on papers presented at the international symposium Reading as a Link between Generations: towards a More Cohesive Society organized in Hammamet, Tunisia from 21-23 September 2011 by the Tunisian Federation of the Friends of Library and Book Associations (FENNABIL) and IFLA's Literacy and Reading Section.

Papers in English or French with abstracts in both languages.
