A Unique Collection
Snapshot of the Centre Collection

The library at Literacy BC, containing over 3000 catalogued items, is unique for its diverse collection of literacy-related resources. We develop our collection in the following areas, among others:

adult basic education	literacy and health issues
family literacy	learning disabilities
workplace literacy	literacy programming
aboriginal literacy	women's literacy
clear language	computers and literacy
seniors literacy	program development
prison literacy	tutoring

Resources come in the form of teaching materials, basic readers, evaluation tools, practice exercises, research and reports. Most are print materials, but there are also videos, DVDs, CD-ROMS, audio- cassettes, kits, and games.

Our collection includes many unique BC-produced materials. In addition, we house items reviewed in the Literacy Materials Bulletin, a publication that offered qualitative reviews of exemplary literacy materials field-tested in BC classrooms.
