    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.

  • Adult Illiteracy: State Library Responses
    Adult Illiteracy: State Library Responses GARY E. STRONG “I ASKED MYSELF, why the public library? And, then I realized that is where you go to read.” These words of an adult learner define the role of the library in literacy services most effectively. This institution has always been concerned with learning-the sharing of human knowl- edge. The emerging role as information center has not replaced the public library’s traditional role as “the people’s university.” The plan- ning for learner services is often left to the desire of local public libraries while state library agencies are more concerned with the “broader issues of library development.” Within the past three years, however, concern for the plight of the adult illiterate has received attention by state governments in library development planning. The purpose of this article is to examine a number of these efforts and to provide an in-depth examination of the efforts of the California State Library in conducting the California Literacy Campaign. Conference in Urban Literacy: Summary of State Initiatives As background for the Second National Conference on Urban Literacy held on 17 and 18 June 1985 in Monterey, California, Jean Hammink with B. Dalton Bookseller prepared a summary of state literacy initiatives. Her summary reported that thirty states have some level of interest in adult literacy, though the statewide literacy initiatives vary a great deal from state to state in their degree and scope. The thirty Gary E. Strong is State Librarian of California, California State Library, Sacramento, California. FALL 1986 243 GARY STRONG states were: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michi- gan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.
