Abstract
Contemporary libraries have to provide more and more service to exist as a useful institutions. Among them are special methods which growing up with psychology or pedagogy. All of them have common denominators: psychological support with the personal difficulties. Bibliotherapy is the use of books selected on the basis of content in a planned reading program designed to facilitate the recovery of patients suffering from mental illness or emotional disturbance. Poetry therapy is another form of expressive arts therapy, involves the therapeutic use of poems, narratives, and other spoken or written media to promote well-being and healing. Also we can consider using other psychological form of help children. One of them is coaching. The ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Also counselling is focus on those two groups of clients in the library. Different from all mentioned techniques is mindfulness. Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. This speech examines short description of the most practical psychological techniques of children’s librarians.
