“Thanks to a little nudge from his daughter, Rep. Ralph Regula (R-OH) recently secured more than $2 million in federal funds to develop a pilot program at Kent State University to teach K-12 educators the value of school library resources.”
“The new program, entitled the Institute for Library and Information Literacy Education, will bring together Kent State’s School of Library and Information Science, College of Education, and the university library to offer various summer workshops and training sessions on “ways to encourage the effective use of school libraries in classes,” says Regula, chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education.” (from School Library Journal)
