Loudoun County Public Library, Final Performance Report for Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) Title VI, Library Literacy Program.
Holtslander, Linda
This final performance report for the Loudoun County Public Library literacy project begins with a section that provides quantitative data. The next section compares actual accomplishments to the major project objective: to create a non-threatening learning environment at the Transitional Housing Center (THC), a residential homeless shelter. Proposed and actual expenditures are compared. Activities undertaken are described, including: (1) the organization of the Success Center, a literacy center with the purpose of providing adult literacy resources, one-on-one tutoring, and computer-assisted instruction to THC residents; (2) advantages of computer-assisted instruction, including the value of computer skills in the job market, privacy, individualization, and control of learning; (3) computer software used; and (4) celebrations and recognition events. The role of the library is discussed; the contributions of THC and volunteers are summarized; and the impact of the project is considered. Attachments include a Transitional Housing Program brochure, newspaper clippings, the Success Center newsletter, and flyers. (MES)
