Gina Bingham and Ava Iuliano, VALF student interns, attended the FLA Conference on Friday, April 9th to present a scholarly poster on adult and family literacy programs during times of economic recession and to raise awareness of VALF’s efforts. Outlining the importance of volunteer literacy programs, the effectiveness of peer-to-peer teaching and the skill of volunteer tutors, the poster generated a lot of interest among FLA attendees. Gina and Ava were also able to drum up interest in VLAF’s new student intern program among library science students. If you missed us at FLA, be sure to see us during the Florida Literacy Conference!
