Earning Social Currency

Kim Young is a savvy entrepreneur who has spent over a quarter of a century helping craft connections and grow partnerships among businesses, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, communities and their customers, supporters and residents. One of my goals is to have her provide training for NTLP library personnel and supporters.

In this article she not only explains the meaning and value of social currency but also demonstrates her typical style of packing lots of relevant information into a really small amount of the reader's - or listener's - time.

So read the article and then ask yourself ... just how much social currency does your library or supporters group have?

North Texas Library Partners Announces Launch of Libraries for Literacy Website

I am proud to announce the official launch of the Libraries for Literacy website. You can find it at: http://www.libraries4literacy.org.

On this website, you will find:

• News and announcements about the Libraries for Literacy project.
• A directory of Literacy providers. At present, this directory is a work in progress. We have several programs in the North Texas area already in the database, but we are looking for more. If you know of a program, please take a few moments to submit it. We will make sure it gets placed on the website. We hope this directory can be used by librarians who are asked, “Where can I learn to read?”
• A toolkit on how to start an adult literacy program found on the Resources page of the website.

We have plans to include even more in the future so please check back often.

If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth Stewart at estewart@ntrls.org or call 817-377-4440.
