Back to the top Peer Production Since 1985, Broward County Libraries Learning Services has been involved in producing and sometimes publishing books written by children, young adults, and adults participating in our various literacy programs. Over 230 titles have been produced. Students learn to write, edit, layout, illustrate, and assemble their work into a finished product. To celebrate their hard work, Peer Production always ends with an Author's Reception in which their books receive recognition and autographed copies are always presented to the library. This program was part of a demonstration requested by the Department of Education for the Summer Challenge Conference given by President Clinton to show innovative ways of reaching at-risk communities.

Treat your mind to a spa by learning brain-friendly theory and techniques which can be applied to both your personal and business life. The Story Tree Primarily designed as a literature appreciation experience for adults learning to read, this program gives the new reader the tools to pass on a heritage of reading to the children in their lives. Adult caretakers of children explore the significance of stories and what we learn from them. Additionally, the program's focus is on the writing and reading of stories culminating with the new reader experiencing the joy of sharing stories with their children as they choose six books from our collection to start a library in their own home.
