Explored the impact of parental involvement and of public libraries
on Head Start children's emerging literacy skills. Found differences
in the amount of parental involvement in literacy activities and the
types of activities. Library use was minimal for fear of damaging
books, transportation problems, or lack of time or effort. Suggested
improvements include home book delivery and parent workshops. (AA)
