These descriptions of state and local library activities, demonstrating how libraries are meeting a variety of users' needs, are: (1) "Meeting the Literacy Challenge from a Federal Perspective" (Adrienne Chute); (2) "Library Services to the Blind and Physically Handicapped" (Clare De Cleene); (3) "Library Services to the Handicapped" (including the mentally retarded, hearing or speech impaired, emotionally disturbed, orthopedically impaired, or otherwise health impaired) (Clare De Cleene); (4) "Library Services to the Institutionalized" (including residents in state hospitals and correctional institutions) (Trish Skaptason); (5) "Library Services through Major Urban Resource Libraries and Metropolitan Public Libraries Which Serve as National or Regional Resource Centers" (Clarence Fogelstrom); (6) "Public Library Construction" (Donald Fork); and (7) "Interlibrary Cooperation and Resource Sharing" (Dorothy Kittel). The appended additional details and/or statistics for five of the seven reports include brief descriptions of individual projects in each of the states. The appendixes make up more than half of the document. (CGD)
