Community Library Programs That Work: Building Youth and Family Literacy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781610692632)

A collection of versatile best practices for promoting literacy development by utilizing local community connections in school and public libraries.

Modern libraries are recreating themselves as idea centers for today's Internet-savvy, digitally driven clientele. This book provides a fresh approach to learning as well as guidelines for creating dynamic and relevant library programs for children, teens, and families. Organized thematically, each chapter includes relevant topical research and three to eight community-focused approaches. Programs range from small, single-library initiatives in rural communities to multi-site, cross-border initiatives. This essential reference includes collaborative and locally inspired programs, many of which can be scaled to the budget of any library, school, or community organization.
