<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our library has adopted a new strategic plan, and one of our initiatives for the upcoming year is to develop programs that promote the advancement of functional literacy skills (i.e. practical skills needed for real-life purposes). This
could include anything from resume workshops, financial literacy/budgeting, using technology, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We were wondering if anyone has done programming that focuses on functional literacy skills. If so, we’d love to hear about it! For example, what programs did you offer? What did you find effective/ineffective? How did you develop and execute
your program? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re looking for ideas about what to offer, as well as advice about how to offer these programs effectively.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance from FHCPL! We really appreciate it! <o:p>
