- W219505932 abstract "Weibel, Marguerite Crowley. Adult Learners Welcome Here: A Handbook for Librarians and Literacy Teachers. New York, NY: Neal-Schuman Publishers, 2007. 306 p. 75.00 USD. ISBN -13:978-1-55570-578-7. ISBN -10:1-55570-578-2.∞ Adult Learners Welcome Here: A Handbook for Librarians and Literacy Teachers is Marguerite Crowley Weibel's third book and updates and expands on her earlier works Choosing and Using Books with New Adult Readers (1996) and The Library as a Literacy Classroom (1992). Weibel states she is writing for two primary audiences: librarians and teachers/tutors. A medical librarian with a Master's Degree in adult education, Weibel is an obviously gifted tutor with a passion for books. She is convinced of the power of reading and knows how books can inspire, inform, and comfort people - even people who struggle with reading. This, then, is primarily a book about readers' advisory for a special group of readers, namely adults with reading difficulties. Adult Learners Welcome Here: A Handbook for Librarians and Literacy Teachers is divided into three sections. Part I outlines the role of the library as a literacy classroom and describes the state of in the United States. Although Weibel quotes U.S. statistics, the situation in Canada is very similar, so her message is relevant to librarians in Canada. The profile of adult students is similarly reflective of the Canadian experience. She also briefly describes the main educational theories and techniques for teaching adults basic reading and writing skills. This provides useful background for the sample lesson plans in the following chapters. Part II Literacy, Lessons, and Libraries is the heart of the book. Each of the five chapters looks at a specific type of book or resource: art and photography; poetry; literature; non-fiction; print and electronic reference. A rationale for using that type of book/resource with adult new readers is given along with sample lesson plans and an annotated bibliography of recommended titles. These are regular mainstream books selected from the adult and children's sections of the library. They are titles that most libraries, even Canadian libraries, would likely have in their collections. The bibliographies would need to be culled for titles that would suit the Canadian context and also augmented with additional Canadian titles. However, Weibel's inspired selections give the reader a good sense of the types of titles that would work well with adult students. …" @default.
