Community Literacy Evaluation
by Miriam Andrus 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

The Big Rapids Community is interested in knowing the literacy needs of residents. Have any Libraries or communities out there done such a survey? Do you have a copy that you would be willing to share? We are ultimately working toward raising literacy rates by whatever means we can. However, we need to know what the issues are first and hope to find a community that has done something similar. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Applicants must complete an online application (available at http://www.ala.org/rt/learnrt/pat-carterette-professional-development-grant) by February 15, 2018, at 11:59 pm CST. This grant, named after our much admired past-president, the late Pat Carterette, is designed to honor her passion for professional development in the field of library and information sciences. A former staff development and continuing education coordinator, Pat believed in quality library service, leadership development, and continual learning. Please note: The maximum grant amount is $1,000 (with receipts). Any costs above this will be the responsibility of the recipient. In addition to the financial award, the recipient will be provided with access to a member of LRT, who will serve as a "Professional Development Mentor" throughout the award year. If the recipient is already an ALA member, they will also receive a free one-year membership in LRT. The award recipient will be notified in May 2018. Shannon
