contents	Here's How! Practical Hints for Establishing Library Services in Homeless Shelters. Norfolk, Sherry Des Enfants Agenda Setting Children Computer Literacy Disadvantaged Youth Elementary Education Homeless People Library Services Planning Reading Achievement Reading Programs Urban Youth This guide contains suggestions for those seeking to establish library services for homeless children, help for computerizing a homeless shelter, and a discussion of the problems and rewards of establishing library services in a shelter. Steps to establishing services include: (1) clarifying the purpose of the effort; (2) doing the homework to have adequate background information; (3) developing a plan of action; and (4) keeping the focus on library services. Computerizing a homeless shelter, especially the library services, is not a simple proposition, with scarce resources and limited space almost always factors, but it is an effort definitely worth making. The "Tahoe Presentation," which is attached, is an exploration of the importance of library services to children in shelters. Books offer these children a chance to dream, and library services are one of the keys to a brighter future. Experiences with children in shelters illustrate the vital importance books can have for their emotional well-being and the importance an element of computer literacy can have for the school-age child. The DeKalb County (Georgia) Project Horizons is an example of a cooperative effort supported by the Atlanta City Schools, the Decatur city schools, and the DeKalb County Schools to ensure library services in homeless shelters.
