One component of ALA's "Literacy in Libraries across America" initiative (funded in part by the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund), this book was conceived to help support library-based literacy programs. As you read about the real-life stories of library directors, program administrators, teachers, tutors, librarians, and adult learners from around the country, you'll better:

-- 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, nonprofits, 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.
