The Jackson District Library (Michigan) conducted a project that involved recruitment, retention, public awareness, training, basic literacy, collection development, tutoring, employment oriented, intergenerational/family, and English as a Second Language (ESL) programs. The project served a community of 100,000-200,000 people, and targeted the homeless, learning disabled, workforce/workplace learners, seniors/older citizens, and intergenerational/families. Tutoring was done one-on-one, using the Michigan Method. The project served 96 adult learners, and provided 1,583 hours of direct tutoring service. This report describes activities from October 1992-September 1993 and provides: a comparison of actual accomplishments to goals and objectives set forth in the grant application; a comparison between proposed and actual expenditures; specific details of activities undertaken; the role the library played in the accomplishment of the goals and objectives; agencies and organizations that assisted in the project; and the impact of the federal project on the ongoing program of the library. Appendices include: newspaper articles highlighting the program; literacy council newsletters; "New Voices in Writing"--a compilation of student writing; tutor training evaluation form and compilation of results; tutor handbook; program brochures and flyers; reading tips for parents; and "Read All About It!"--a supplement to the "Jackson Citizen Patriot" in honor of National Literacy Day.
