This DeKalb County Public Library family literacy project final performance report begins with a section that provides quantitative data on the project. The next section compares actual accomplishments to the following project objectives for fiscal year 1993: (1) to update eight existing literacy collections in branch libraries by the addition of 10% new titles; (2) to establish a core literacy collection of 825 print, 20 non-print, and 20 software packages; (3) to develop a computer lab with two personal computers and 20 literacy software packages, providing professional, individual assistance to a minimum of 200 adult and family literacy students; (4) to maintain a cooperative, coordinated literacy program in conjunction with the literacy community, sponsoring an in-service workshop for literacy volunteers, preparing and distributing at least two bibliographies of literacy materials, and hosting quarterly networking meetings; and (5) to expand the family literacy program at a community library by 100%, offering four 6-week sessions to a total of 24 families. Proposed and actual expenditures are compared. Details are provided on materials, training, library role, participating organizations, and library locations.
