It'S Often Said A Child'S Lifelong Love Of Reading Begins At Home. But Declining Literacy Rates Among The Nation'S Public Elementary School Students Suggests This Maxim Needs Revision. For Reading To Become An Everyday Habit, It Needs To Be Nurtured In A Home Of Its Own. Fortunately, There Is Space Available Inside Most Elementary Schools.

But Far Too Many Of The Nation'S Public School Libraries Lack Even The Most Basic Resources To Support Learning And Encourage Achievement.
