Cuyahoga County Public Library, Final Performance Report for Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) Title VI, Library Literacy Program.
Cook, Vivian Adams
The Cuyahoga County Public Library (Parma, Ohio) conducted a project that involved recruitment, coalition building, public awareness, training, collection development, and intergenerational/family programs. The program, Bringing Up Readers: Family Literacy Program, was successful in encouraging and promoting family reading, community cooperation, awareness, and responsiveness through library-sponsored programs. The project served a community of over 200,000 people, and targeted intergenerational/families and adult basic literacy and education students. Ninety-three adult learners participated in the literacy program. The report provides a comparison of actual accomplishments to goals and objectives set forth in the grant application; comparison between proposed and actual expenditures; specific details of activities undertaken; the role the library played in the accomplishment of the goals and objectives; agencies and organizations that assisted in the project; and the impact of the federal project on the ongoing program of the library. Appendices include: advisory board member contact information; family reading program material; "Demographics: The Census and the Library;" independent contractor agreement; list of trained program facilitators; table of age, education, and social characteristics of Cuyahoga County residents; "Directory of Adult Community and Continuing Education Resources in Cuyahoga County;" and literacy program materials and evaluation forms.
