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:

  1. How do libraries and literacy organizations create better access for adults with literacy challenges?
  2. How can libraries and literacy organizations collaborate more effectively?
  3. How can libraries and literacy organizations achieve sustainability for initiatives given competition for funding and the impact of traditional roles?
  4. How can libraries and literacy organizations share information and promote initiatives more effectively locally, provincially and territorially, and nationally.
