Nevels, Vada Germaine Adult Basic Education Adult Learning Adult Literacy Community Cooperation English (Second Language) Family Literacy Federal Programs Grants Intergenerational Programs Learning Disabilities Library Collection Development Library Role Literacy Education Microcomputers Older Adults Public Libraries Publicity Tutor Training Tutoring User Needs (Information) Volunteer Training Volunteers The Hopkinsville-Christian County Library (Kentucky) conducted a project that involved recruitment, public awareness, basic literacy, collection development, tutoring, computer-assisted, other technology, and intergenerational/family programs. The project served a community of 50,000-100,000 people, and targeted the learning disabled, seniors/older citizens, intergenerational/families, and English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. Tutoring was done one-on-one and in small groups, using the Laubach and Literacy Volunteers of America (LVA) methods. The project served 800 adult learners and provided 265 hours of direct tutoring service. The grant provided for the expansion of the successful existing literacy laboratory at the library. Other objectives of the project were to: retain a qualified instructor for the library's literacy laboratory; purchase and catalog all video/audio tapes and books; identify and train at least 10 new volunteer tutors who wanted to use the computers; and to increase by 10 the number of tutor/learner teams which would use the library on a regular basis. Data tables containing budget information and the resulting survey are appended. (SWC) |
