商品簡介
Trained in both adult education and library sciences, Weibel (Ohio State U.) has actively promoted the collaboration of public libraries and adult literacy programs for some 25 years. She offers a resource for librarians and literacy teachers/tutors, program directors, policy makers, community service workers, and others who view literacy as essential to a fulfilling life. The text includes a discussion that will help literacy teachers understand the role of the public library and librarians understand the nature and extent of the problem of low literacy; specific examples of books for use in various adult literacy settings; sample lessons; extensive annotated bibliographies of titles suitable for use in adult literacy programs and in family literacy settings; and suggestions for building a literacy coalition of the library, literacy programs, and a number of partner agencies from the community at large.
