Library Programming for Families With Young Children: A How-To-Do-It Manual (How to Do It Manuals for Librarians)

A successful literacy program requires the involvement of the entire family. Nespeca's inspiring manual helps readers do so by explaining the family/literacy connection and providing a number of effective programs that promote family members reading to young children; sharing stories; celebrating families' ethnic diversity and history; intergenerational interaction; outreach through schools and childcare facilities; outreach to families of special populations such as teen parents, homeless families, and parents in prison; bilingual or English as second language children; and children whose parents have low or no literacy.Sue McCleaf Nespeca is the author of 'Library Programming for Families With Young Children: A How-To-Do-It Manual (How to Do It Manuals for Librarians)', published 1995 under ISBN 9781555701819 and ISBN 1555701817.
