Literacy programs at libraries across the country have literally changed people's lives. Hear the real-life stories of library directors, program administrators, teachers, tutors, librarians, and adult learners who have experienced the transformation firsthand. With nine out of ten libraries playing a role in adult literacy and thirty percent offering instruction, it is ever-clear that libraries are major players in promoting and increasing literacy. One component of ALA's own ""Literacy in Libraries across America"" initiative (funded in part by the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund), this book was conceived to help strengthen library-based literacy programs. As you digest the lessons learned from these stories, you'll better: * Understand the essential role that libraries play in literacy and adult education. * Meet the educational needs of your unique community - whether urban or rural. * Use technology to revamp the way people learn to read and write. * Create winning local partnerships to make literacy programs a reality. Public libraries, non-profits, literacy organizations, and community groups can all use the practical and specific information in this book to tackle the endemic problem of illiteracy in America.
