Abstract:
The article follows the activities of Janina Kelles-Krauz, a well-known librarian associated with the Ossolineum Library. It deals with the overlooked period of her life in interwar Lviv, when she was engaged in helping and caring for children. The article is based on hitherto unknown documents stored in the Ossolineum Library in Wrocław. On their basis, three levels of the librarian’s childcare activities were identified: practical help (at daycare center, boarding school, and summer camps), teaching (lectures at courses for tutors and social workers), and academic writing. The main part of the article characterizes and analyzes each of the mentioned fields of her activity. Janina Kelles-Krauz’s achievements are part of the Polish pedagogy of care in the interwar period.
