Literacy Matters Cohort Launches Web Presence
The Literacy Matters: Educating Librarians to Serve Families with Young Children project cohort launched their web presence. These eighteen Master's students are supported by a federally funded Institute of Museum and Library Services grant.
The Literacy Matters wiki includes students' portfolios in which they share their passion for family literacy and examples of their course projects. The web site is intended as a showcase for the project and will evolve as students add content that represents

and follow the students' progress.
