Since 1988, the DeWitt Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund has spearheaded a nationwide effort to revitalize elementary and middle school libraries and make them the center of teaching and learning. Library Power provides for the physical renovation of library space, purchase of new books and other materials to update collections, and ongoing staff development for teachers, librarians and administrators. NDI designed this book to document the experiences of schools across the country that are demonstrating the difference a Library Power Program can make in the lives of young people. Rich black & white documentary style photos taken by Lesli Slavin are paired with transparent cover sheets reporting on each program.
