We are involved in research into the impact of school libraries on
children's literacy levels and behaviour. 

Would that be of any help to you?

Kind regards,

Subject: [PW] quotes/stats on positive impact of public libraries on
children...


Folks,

I'm helping someone write a grant for matching funds for a gift to 
the library and he's looking for information he can quote. Here's

>to show the positive impact of a library on children


And, of course, this is a rush job! (Aren't they all?)

Can anyone put a finger on anything that would be useful?

Thanks.
