This document is the report of the Canadian Library Association's project called "Public Libraries and Literacy: Toward a National Front-Line Strategy: A National Working Summit on Libraries and Literacy".

This Summit arose out of the need for the profession to share and document library- literacy activities cross-Canada; to achieve consensus on a national long-term strategy for literacy services in public libraries; and to engage in dialogue with the national literacy groups regarding their perceptions and their awareness of library-literacy services.
