The Health and Human Services poverty line for a three-person family in America is $11,8oo in annual income. One in every five American children is growing up in poverty. What does child poverty mean for the economic and societal future of our country? The Children's Defense Fund, widely considered the most powerful force for children in America, has assembled expert and ground-breaking information on how poverty affects health, childhood deaths, low birth weight, and injury; on the insidious connections between low family income and learning disabilities; on links between poverty, abuse, and neglect and self-esteem; and much more. Wasting America's Future is the crucial citizen's handbook as we continue the national debate on welfare reform.

Under a National Leadership Grant from IMLS, expert authors Durrance and Fisher have tested and developed the How Libraries and Librarians Help (HLLH) Outcomes Model to help library professionals effectively communicate their story by assessing the outcomes of library services. This unique model provides a step-by-step, context-centered method for assessing user outcomes and covers preparation, data collection, data analysis, and presentation of results, making it easy for libraries to apply the measurement tools to their own outcomes assessment. The book's tools and exercises for assessing user outcomes help libraries to strategize for outcomes assessment, while field-tested examples of user outcomes gleaned from several libraries that participated in the HLLH model provide real-world examples of this approach to measuring libraries' impact on individuals and communities.

Throughout her life and work, Marian Wright Edelman has been at the heart of this cantury's most dramatic civil rights and child advocacy struggles. In this stirring, heartfelt memoir she pays tribute to the extrordinary mentors who helped light her way including Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert F. Kennedy, Fannie Lou Hamer, and William Slaone Coffin. She celebrates the lives of her parents and the great Black Women of Bennetsville, South Carolina- Miz Tee, Miz Lucy, Miz Kate-who gave her love and guidance in her youth, as well as the many teachers and figures who inspired her education at Spelman College and empowered her early as an activist in the 1960's. Illustrated with many of the author's personal photographs, Lanterns also includes a "Parents' Pledge" and "Twenty-Five More Lessons for Life" to guide, protect, and love our children every day so that they will become, in Edelman's moving vision, the healing agents for national transformation.
