There is a new literacy community on the American Library Association social networking site called ALA Connect. Connect is similar to Facebook but it is dedicated to the library community. Members can set up "communities" which are also accessible to non-members.
This new community focuses on public library literacy best practices. It is the one place that the public library community can have conversations around library literacy programs.
A recent post includes the California State Library guidelines for literacy programs. If you are administering or volunteering in a library literacy program, go and add your comments and suggestions on library literacy program management.
VALF helped created library literacy tip sheets which are a good resource for library literacy programs. The one that has not been completed is "Why Library Literacy". We would love to hear more from you on why a library should be involved in adult literacy. Post your comments here and do join the library literacy community on ALA Connect.
