This guide gives instructions for creating 41 inexpensive community library programs for youth and family literacy, aimed at children ages preschool through young adult and multiple generations. The ideas are based on models such as place-based learning, intent participation, service learning, and the Every Child Read to Read, which is a newly established standard for program delivery by libraries. Programs are grouped in sections on building community, exploring roots, connecting with other cultures, encouraging personal growth, sparking creativity, and developing family literacy. Each four-page entry contains info on target audience, outcomes and benefits, materials, budget, and promotion, along with a list of books and contacts for more info and a b&w photo. The book also contains reproducible worksheets for patrons, most directed to children. Annotation ©2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - McMillan Palgrave
