ALA Connect and Public Library Literacy

The American Library Association (ALA) has its own version of facebook which has some library literacy groups.  It is called ALA Connect. Nonmembers can register and access public forums.  Members have broader access.

One of the public forums is for public library literacy practitioners.   To register for ALA Connect go to this link.  To get to the public library literacy practitioner site go to this link.  There are several other sites related to library literacy.  One is called Literacy for All and was set up last your for the ALA Committee's Library Literacy Summit.  It is for all types of literacy and all types of libraries.

Sandy Newell, President of VALF, will be presenting a program on ALA Connect and other library literacy sites at the Florida Literacy Coaltion Conference on Wednesday in May.

If you have questions about ALA Connect or want to know more about library literacy, contact Sandy Newell at snewell@dos.state.fl.us or at 850-245-6624.
