Evangeline Parish Library, Final Performance Report for Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) Title VI, Library Literacy Program, FY 1992.
Fontenot, Jerry
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 Evangeline Parish Library (Louisiana) conducted a project that involved recruitment, retention, public awareness, training, rural oriented, basic literacy, collection development, tutoring, and computer assisted programs. The project served a community of 25,000-50,000 people, and targeted the learning disabled, mentally disabled, English as a Second Language (ESL), farm workers and their families, low-income persons, minorities, and lumbermen and their families. One-on-one tutoring was done using the Laubach and Steck-Vaugh methods. The project provided a total of 1,212 hours of direct tutoring service to 40 adults. The report provides a comparison of actual accomplishments to the objective for fiscal year 1992- to locate, reach out to, and assist illiterate adults 16 years old and older (and not in school) who do not have a secondary education or its equivalent to acquire basic reading, writing, and speaking skills and other basic skills necessary to become functional adults while simultaneously improving their self-esteem and confidence. Proposed and actual expenditures are compared. 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, the impact of the federal project on the ongoing program of the library, and recommendations and observations are included. Appendices include newspaper clippings, samples of posters and flyers, and sample student and tutor record forms. (SWC)
