Mathews Susan Roman Foreword The Center for the Book in the Library of Congress was established by law in 1977 to stimulate public interest in books, reading, and libraries. A small and catalytic office, it fulfills its mission primarily through a network of 36 affiliated state centers (with more on the way) and a reading promotion partners program that includes more than 50 national educational and civic organizations. For information about the Center for the Book and its activities, visit its Web site at www.loc.gov/loc/cfbook. The Library-Museum-Head Start Partnership Project, administered by the center from 1992 to 1997, has been one of the centers most successful endeavors. Combining the resources and talents of the Head Start Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Association for Library Services to Children, a division of the American Library Association, and, after 1994, the Association of Youth Museums, the project demonstrated across the country how libraries and museums that serve young children can work closely with Head Start grantees and classroom teachers. This resource notebook helps extend the partnerships formed during the project at both the national and community levels. The Center for the Book is grateful to the notebook's two authors, Virginia H. Mathews and Susan Roman, for a job well done. Consultant Virginia Mathews served as coordinator of the Library-Museum-Head Start Project. Susan Roman is executive director of the Association for Library Service to Children. Thanks also go to Center for the Book program specialist Anne Boni for her support and to Barbara Hart and the staff of Publications Professionals, Inc. of Annandale, VA for help in preparing the notebook. As the authors explain in greater detail in their preface, "everything in this resource notebook may be used to the fullest: program activity, lists of materials, tips on how to encourage family literacy and to help a child enjoy reading, definitions, research cited-everything." Materials may be copied for educational use and for use by non-profit organizations provided that original sources are cited and that appropriate credit is given to this resource notebook. Materials may not be copied or used by commercial organizations or in publications intended for sale.

It resulted from a proposal requested by the Head Start Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services following a symposium that addressed the potential of partnerships be¬ tween libraries and other agencies serving young children and families and was held at the Library of Congress in November 1989. Program officers who had attended this symposium returned with enthusiasm for the possible benefits to Head Start children, parents, and teachers of a close collaboration with children’s librarians and with library services and resources. An interagency agreement between the Center for the Book and the Head Start Bureau was signed and ready to be implemented in May 1992. Collaboration with Association for Library Service to Children The partnership project was carried out from the beginning with the collabo¬ ration of the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the 58,000- member American Library Association. After the Association of Youth Museums joined the collaboration in 1994, its members and other youth-serving personnel from museum staffs participated in the workshops. The project was designed to demonstrate in communities across the country how libraries that serve young children can plan and work with Head Start grant¬ ees and classroom teachers to enhance learning and to involve parents and other primary caregivers and families in children’s literacy and language development. Planning A planning meeting was held in July 1992 with 40 participants from more than 30 states. The product of this intensive 3-day effort was a set of guidelines for producing a proposed video and for developing state or regional workshops, along with written materials such as this resource book and a training guide for use with the video. Leaders from both Head Start and libraries were solidly be¬ hind the concept and its potentials. 1 The multimedia package produced to support the development and operation of the partnership encourages Head Start teachers, home visitors, aides, volun¬ teers, parents, and other primary caregivers and families to integrate books and other library resources and services into the day-to-day learning experiences of the child and to build bridges between Head Start and the child’s home. A major goal has been to develop a network of library—and later museum and other— learning resources that are based in the community and are geared to support Head Start staff members and parents. The network will ensure that when preschoolers reach school age, they are well prepared and have the basic concepts and skills that will enable them to succeed in school and to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Those of us who projected this vision knew from the start that we were not in¬ venting a totally new relationship between Head Start and libraries. The two had interacted since Head Start began in 1965. Such relationships were usually be¬ tween individual classroom teachers who happened to be near an interested li¬ brary branch, and the interactions were apt to be sporadic and haphazard—a matter of chance rather than routine. Without a commitment or planning from the top and without institutionalization, these collaborations ceased with staff changes.

The purpose of the conference was to discuss the place of reading as a basic communication skill in an increasingly technological society. The papers chosen for this volume discuss (1) the relevance of reading in the face of social and technological revolution,(2) some specific means of meeting the reading needs of society through two kinds of reading programs--paraprofessional instructors (Women's Talent Corps) and industrial reading improvement programs (General Motors), and (3)some possible directions which reading might be expected to take with increasing societal change. Reactions to several of the papers by those attending the conference are included immediately following the papers, and the volume ends with some concluding remarks which summarize the conference.

This report is the culmination of the evaluation, which included site visits ano field hearings. The largely undocumented knowledge base of Native American experience must be recorded and preserved if it is not to be lost. Ten major challenges were identified on topics such as funding support, training and technical assistance, tribal library holdings, cooperative activities, state and local partnerships, federal policy, model programs, museum and archival services, adult and family literacy programs, and newer information technology.

Littletree ii University of Washington Abstract “Let Me Tell You About Indian Libraries”: Self-Determination, Leadership, and Vision— The Basis of Tribal Library Development in the United States Sandra D. Littletree Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Cheryl A. Metoyer Information School Tribal libraries in the United States have become sites of cultural and language renewal, gathering places, and places to collect, preserve, and share Indigenous knowledge. After more than forty years of development, tribal libraries have become important sites of decolonization, where sovereignty and self-determination are paramount. These libraries are relatively recent tools that Native (and non-Native) people have begun to employ to collect, preserve, and transmit Indigenous knowledge for current and future generations. Despite the important role these institutions play in many Native communities, their presence is relatively unknown in the scholarly literature. This research traces the history and development of tribal libraries using qualitative research methodologies informed by Indigenous approaches to knowledge. Interviews with early designers as well as with current tribal library designers were conducted to tell the story of tribal library development. Analysis of archival documents provided additional iii information on the development of tribal libraries. This research addresses the question, What was the basis for the development of tribal libraries? The result of this examination reveals that the basis for tribal library development included the following: 1.
