NLA Info: NIFL Literacy Info Kits

[Young, Meg]

     Thanks Fran, for updating everyone on campaign information! In September, 
     the National Institute for Literacy will be releasing a Literacy and 
     Policy Public Service Message. 
     
     The next [second] phase of our three phase campaign will be especially 
     interesting and relevant to folks on this list. The upcoming PSAs for TV, 
     radio, and print will tie policy into "Whole New World" of literacy.  The 
     campaign folder from the first phase of the campaign has been updated to 
     include a new fact sheet on library literacy, as well as a fabulous 
     handout on "Policy Success Stories" - featuring what has been going on 
     at the local level.
     
     These new information kits will be available at the NIFL Hotline and 
     Clearinghouse: 1-800-228-8813.  [TDD/TTY number is: 1-800-552-9097]. 
     
     If you're interested in assisting place PSAs with the message that 
     literacy is a solution to important policy issues, contact your state 
     coordinator [you can find this information at 
     http://novel.nifl.gov/newworld/STATES.HTM 
     or by calling 202/632-1515], or contact the National Institute for 
     Literacy directly at 202/632-1515.

Reminder:
     
The National Institute for Literacy is in the midst of a large public 
awareness campaign about literacy. Call 1-800-552-9097 for a copy of 
the Literacy: It's a Whole New World information kit. 
     
The kits include plenty of statistics on topics including 
correctional education, English as a second language, learning 
disabilities, workforce literacy, family literacy. literacy and 
welfare, and the national delivery system.  
     
I believe the Institute has a campaign event scheduled for September 
8th but I do not have details on that.
