IV. Over to You
This background paper has provided a overview of how libraries
and literacy work has
evolved over the last decade. This includes the promising practices, exciting
developments, great successes, ongoing challenges, as well as some ideas
for the future.
Now it is over to you. In preparation for the National Summit
on Libraries and Literacy:
Moving Forward, the AFLIG Steering Committee poses the questions that
follow in
preparation for dialogue at the Summit:
- How do libraries and literacy organizations create better access for adults
with
literacy challenges?
- How can libraries and literacy organizations collaborate
more effectively?
- How
can libraries and literacy organizations achieve sustainability for initiatives
given competition for funding and the impact of traditional roles?
- How can
libraries and literacy organizations share information and promote
initiatives more effectively locally, provincially and territorially, and
nationally.
