Reaching Out; Some USOE-Funded Programs and Projects That Illustrate the Efforts of Public Libraries to Attract New Clientele.
Molz, Kathleen, Comp.
Examples are given of the ways that the states have used funds from Title I of the Library Services and Construction Act to assist libraries in implementing outreach projects for the benefit of those who cannot easily avail themselves of ordinary service. Library outreach programs for inner-city residents; for non-English speaking persons in New England, Hawaii, and California; for isolated groups in Alaska, the Ozarks, and the Appalachians; and for aged and handicapped persons, including residents of nursing homes, are described.
