  • Libraries, Librarians in a College Reading Program. Hymon, Mary Watson Black Literature College Libraries College Programs College Students Discussion Groups Enrichment Activities Literature Appreciation Reading Centers Reading Programs Remedial Programs Remedial Reading Study Skills A college reading program at Grambling College of Louisiana, funded through Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, is reported. The cooperation of library personnel with the program of the college Communicative and Study Skills Center provided students with opportunities to become acquainted with library facilities and to increase their interest in reading. In addition to the regular program, the college began extended remedial programs, library skills classes, a film series, and discussions of reading, especially of books relating to black culture. The experiences of students and staff were sufficiently encouraging to warrant continuation and extension of the program. (MS)
