Identify the need(s) to be filled by the project and tell how this need was determined. Describe the group to be served in terms of numbers, geo- graphic location, special needs, etc. If the request is a continuation or a spin-off of previous grant(s) give a brief summary/evaluation of previous grant(s) and describe how your project will continue said grant(s). The persons to be served primarily by the grant are adults in Weld County, 16 years and older, who read below a sixth grade level and/or who have limited skills in spoken English. Adults whose reading levels are below ninth grade will also benefit from the grant provisions. The geographical service area includes the city of Greeley and rural areas of Weld County. The two literacy programs in Weld County, Aims Community College and Right to Read, serve between 900 and 1,000 students annually. Both programs need increased library services and training in library use for their students. Moreover, the 1980 Census revealed that in Weld County, 24,000 or 26% of the adults over the age of 16 have not completed twelfth grade and are not enrolled in school. 16,450 adults over age 18 speak English poorly or not at all. The census figures point to the existence of a large number of individuals to be served. 2. State the proposed goals, objectives and activities and relate them to the identified need(s). I. Develop and house at the Weld County Library a collection of varied types of materials appropriate to low level readers and persons with limited English. Will provide high interest, low level materials for adults. Will be jointly selected in a variety of formats by Weld County Library and Right to Read. Volunteers will maintain collection after purchase and cataloging. II. Develop means to bring adults who read below a 9th grade level and/or who have limited English skills into the library and teach them how to use library materials. The collection of materials will be publicized to adult basic education professionals and adult users, through mailings and the bookmobiles. News releases will be distributed to newspapers, radio, cable TV and appropriate newsletters. Workshops will be scheduled to develop skills in working with the low level reader. Right to Read tutors will be trained and available to work with low level readers in the use of the library. - 53 - 3. Explain how project will be evaluated. Written evaluations of training workshop by library staff, Right to Read tutors and special volunteers. Library staff and Right to Read tutors will complete written evaluations of training. Statistical records will be maintained on collection materials checked out. Voluntary regustration of users will be taken, recording use of material in the Library and not checked out. Quarterly reports will be filed by volunteer tutors indicating use. 4. Administration of project. The project will be administered jointly by the Director of Right to Read and the Director of Weld County Library. Right to Read, having specialized expertise in teaching reading to low level readers, will assume a lead role in hiring a public information person, preparing promotional materials and selecting materials. The Library will assume a lead role in the preparation of materials for circulation. - 54 - 4. Give budget estimates in the following broad categories and include a brief description of each.

Include here a discussion of funding possibilities for project after termination of LSCA grant. NOTE: CCLD has given project continuation planning a new emphasis this year. Given the uncertainty as to the continuation of LSCA funds, projects without adequate plans assuring local continuation of those projects with long term goals will receive less consideration than those projects whose planning assures successful completion of project goals. WHEREAS this project has long-term goals that go beyond. the duration of the pro- ject, we, the applying agency, agree to continue funding this project until long-term goals, as set on Page 32, have been met.
