The article focuses on the development and distribution of a catalog covering new literature aimed at children and young people in Sweden by the Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs. The initiative rose as a result of conclusions reached by an investigation stating deteriorating conditions related to children's accessibility to books. he catalog is aimed primarily at children and young people, but also at adults in their role as intermediaries. Its intention is to make the act of reading more enjoyable by informing, in a pleasant manner, about the great variety of books published each year in Sweden. This is done by reviews and articles, often written by young people, who have something valid to impart on the subject of books and reading. The catalog is continuously evolving. From its humble origins as a static pdf-file on the Internet to the interactive version found at www.barnensbibliotek.se, enabling children to search for books, and their comments about them and read those of others. The information technology applied here also assists those children who have a visual handicap enabling them to listen to book reviews, and for those with hearing impairments to take part with the aid of sign language.
