Richland Library is reactivating Literacy 2030 in Richland County. At this meeting, USC’s Office of Program Evaluation will help us map conceptual frameworks for the top tier literacy needs determined at our first meeting, in order to help us visualize and understand the connections among the needs, barriers, and goals. These maps/frameworks will then inform our discussion about goal creation for these primary focus areas, as well as strategies and outcomes to achieve and measure those goals. Please join us. Space is limited. Please RSVP to Sarah Gough, and join the effort to increase literacy in our community. Save the date for Richland County’s quarterly meetings:
