Lonesome Pine Regional Library, Final Performance Report for Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) Title VI, Library Literacy Program.
Deel, Rosemary
This final performance report provides project outcome information and data to the U.S. Department of Education for the federally-funded Library Literacy Program. The Lonesome Pine Regional Library (Wise, Virginia) conducted a project that involved recruitment, retention, public awareness, training, rural oriented programs, basic literacy, and tutoring programs. The project served a community of 100,000-200,000, and targeted adults who wanted to learn or to enhance reading and writing and/or math skills. The project used the Laubach tutoring method, with one-on-one and small group instruction. The project served 399 adult learners, provided 20,493 hours of direct tutoring service, and involved 86 volunteer tutors. The report provides a comparison of actual accomplishments to goals and objectives set forth in the grant application; a 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. Includes a literacy services brochure and project evaluation forms. (SWC)
