    New York State Library Early Literacy Training—State Library Research and Best Practices Arizona: Holly Henley, Library Development Director, Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, A Division of the Secretary of State, Carnegie Center, 1101 West Washington, Phoenix, AZ 85007, Phone: 602-926-3366, Fax: 602-256-7995, E-mail: [email protected] Insights: Library staff members who plan to offer early literacy workshops for parents and caregivers find it very helpful to see a demonstration of Every Child Ready to Read and Brain Time before doing them on their own. They also find it helpful to have someone who can act as a mentor while they are getting started. On an ongoing basis, a vehicle for communication and sharing experiences between those who are doing early literacy outreach is very helpful. It is essential to provide ongoing training opportunities for library staff in order to train new staff members in libraries and to keep continuing staff members informed of the latest best practices. Project Description Partnerships and Funding Training and Technology Evaluation Building a New Generation of Readers: A statewide early literacy Trainings and resources for early Face-to-face trainings with Saroj Rhian Evans Allvin and the Brecon project designed by the State Library that provides public and school literacy are supported with LSTA Ghoting, Betsy Diamant-Cohen, Group prepared an evaluation of librarians with the training and materials to teach parents and childcare funding from IMLS, administered Elaine Meyers and staff from New early literacy work by the State providers strategies for preparing children to enter school ready to learn by the Arizona State Library.

  • 1 Some Informational Tidbits and Samplings for Our Work Towards A
    Some informational tidbits and samplings for our work towards a new vision statement for the Montana State Library, gathered by Darlene Staffeldt for Commission review as of May 18, 2011 VISION STATEMENT(S) Webster’s definition of visionary that I would say best fits where we want to go as far as a vision statement: having or marked by foresight and imagination. A definition of a vision statement could be a picture of our library and its services, projects, programs in the future but it’s so much more than that. If used well, our vision promotes change in the desired direction. Our vision statement is our inspiration, the framework for all our strategic planning. Our vision is what we want to become. Our vision doesn’t predict the future – it creates it. To be effective, our vision must be imaginable, desirable, feasible, focused, flexible, communicable and challenging. Montana State Library (MSL)’s current vision statement: MSL’s information resources are supported by professional librarians, content specialists and information technology professionals. MSL efficiently and effectively provides high quality user-centric library services and content. The Library is funded at a level commensurate to meet its mission. MSL works collaboratively, partnering with other regional, national, and international organizations. Some current vision statements from other State or Governmental Libraries: Arizona: To ensure that the Arizona legislature and Arizonans have access to the information they need today and the history of Arizona for tomorrow, through partnerships with all types of cultural and public information institutions. Idaho: Idaho libraries are the nexus of global information, innovative services and community, enabling us to sustain our history, empower our present, and create our future.
