Twin Falls Public Library, Idaho Final Performance Report for Library Services and Construction Act Title VI, Library Literacy Program.
Parkinson, Linda L.; Burton, Annie Laurie
The grant received for the Literacy Program of the Twin Falls (Idaho) Public Library (approximately $24,000) has contributed to the overall improvement of the library system afforded by construction of a new addition planned for completion in February 1991. Grant funds supporting the literacy program complemented funds from a bond issue for construction. A state-administered grant to automate the library catalog also fits well with the enhancement of literacy services. The grant has made possible the construction of tutoring carrels and the purchase of literacy computer hardware and software, as well as audiovisual materials related to literacy and job skills. Grant money has also been spent on preparation material for the GED and basic job skills. Processing procedures have been revised to accommodate the unusual formats of newly purchased literacy materials. Public use of the literacy hardware has been halted pending completion of the construction, but grant monies were spent in preparation for the opening of the new addition. Appendixes include a budget summary and pictures of the construction in progress. Also attached are publications produced through grant funds relating to literacy. These include catalogs of new materials with annotations and suggested uses. (SLD)
