 Shin, Fay H. and Krashen, Stephen D.   Summer Reading Program and Evidence.  Pearson: Boston, 2008.  028.55 Shin    ISBN  978-0-205-50489-9  
"Summer Reading is a timely look at the power of reading in the development of student literacy. It delivers a potent message to administrators, classroom teachers, reading specialists, and librarians to design summer reading programs based on a balanced view of reading instruction." --Sheila Bostrom, Brush Schools, Colorado Inspired by school-established summer reading camps designed to help struggling readers, Dr. Fay Shin and Dr. Stephen Krashen have built a research-based plan to guide schools in replicating this successful strategy. Written by two top scholars in literacy and ESL, Summer Reading: Program and Evidence provides a framework rooted in scientific data supporting how these programs succeed. 

Moyer, Jessica and Stover, Kaite Mediatore, eds.  The Reader's Advisory Handbook.  Chicago: ALA, 2010.  025.54 Reade   ISBN 978-0-8389-1042-9   
Readers' advisory has long ago sprinted past merely suggesting books to patrons; it now encompasses many different formats and means of communication--working with patrons of all types and ages, in and outside the actual library. To help harried librarians handle increased demand, experts Jessica Moyer and Kaite Stover assemble a group of specialists who have created a one-stop resource for all kinds of readers' advisory issues. Here you will find a trove of solid guidance, including:
* How to advise patrons on all kinds of media, from fiction and nonfiction to audiobooks, graphic novels and even reference materials
* How to provide services to senior citizens, teens and even readers who are incarcerated
* How to handle author visits and book groups
Covering everything from getting to know a library's materials to marketing and promoting RA, this practical handbook will help you expand services immediately without adding costs or training time.

Holt, Leslie Edmonds and Holt, Glen E.  Public Library Services for the Poor: Doing All We Can. Chicago: ALA, 2010.  027.6 Holt   ISBN 978-0838910504
Among public institutions, the library has great potential for helping the poor and disenfranchised. For many, the library is the only refuge for information, literacy, entertainment, language skills, employment help, free computer use and even safety and shelter. Experts Glen and Leslie Holt, with decades of service to inner city communities between them, challenge librarians to do more for poor people. While recognizing the financial crunch libraries are under, the authors offer concrete advice about programs and support for this unique group, showing you how to
           Train staff to meet the unique needs of the poor, including youth 
           Cooperate with other agencies in order to form partnerships and collaborations that enrich library services to the poor and homeless 
           Find help, financial and other, for your library
This ground-breaking work demonstrates how five Key Action Areas adopted by the ALA Council (Diversity, Equity of Access, Education and Continuous Learning, Intellectual Freedom, and 21st Century Literacy) apply especially to this disadvantaged population, and motivates librarians to use creative solutions to meet their needs.
