Network Bulletin No.: 04-39
Date: July 16, 2004
Subject: Reading at Risk
I believe there is no more important current reading requirement than
"Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in America," Research
Division Report #46, National Endowment for the Arts, June 2004,
<www.arts.gov>.
From a vantage unique in society, we librarians serving blind and physically
handicapped readers have an obligation to translate the findings to our
situation and to discuss the bleak assessment and solutions to the pending societal
crisis in our libraries, conference meetings, and informal encounters.
[Enclosures: This bulletin contained print enclosures that were mailed to the
network on July 16, 2004.]
