BENEFITS TO USERS <br />This project is designed to improve patron experiences and knowledge with computers and related technology <br />in order for them to achieve their personal goals and enhance their lives. Library patrons at each of the four <br />libraries will learn the same concepts and techniques through consistent lesson plans for classes. This will <br />ensure that patrons have the knowledge needed to take additional classes. For example, the knowledge learned <br />at a basic computer skills class at the Concord Library will prepare patrons for a MS Word or Internet searching <br />class at the Harrisburg Library because the instructor will not unnecessarily repeat information or skip needed <br />information because they know what patrons have already been taught. Also, patrons who take a specific class <br />at any library will know what information will be presented at the class because the goals for each class will be <br />publicized. <br />Library staff and literacy volunteers will be trained to present programs in a systematic, yet effective manner. <br />Library staff will be able to present more classes and a larger variety of topics for patrons because preparation <br />time will be greatly reduced since they will not have to create new lesson plans. <br />Literacy students will be exposed to computers. They will learn to use computers to help them achieve their <br />literacy /reading goals and will also enable them to navigate job applications on the Internet, a skill that is <br />especially important as many major employers will only accept online applications. Many of the adult basic <br />literacy students do not own a computer, nor do they have computer access, these classes in the library will <br />provide both computer access and training. The partnership between the Literacy Council and the Public Library <br />hopes to introduce new adult readers to the library and develop them into lifelong library users. <br />Library patrons will be taught how to effectively use online databases, including those offered through NC LIVE. <br />This will improve research and other skills as well as increase use of those databases. <br />Classes will be advertised in the library's monthly newsletter (print and electronic), the library's website and <br />Facebook page, through fliers and other means in the library and through library staff. Classes and information <br />for literacy tutors and students will be advertised through the library's resources as well as the Literacy Council's <br />quarterly newsletter, email updates to tutors and the Literacy Council's active Board of Directors. <br />Library staff and literacy volunteers will be trained throughout the year so that after the grant funding is done <br />they will be fully equipped to teach all classes. Library staff training will be done on Fridays when the library is <br />Attarr.hmant nnmh 1 <br />Literacy & Lifelong Learning Project Grant, 2013 -2014 page 4 of 7 <br />F -9 Page 113 <br />
