A1 Nespeca, Sue McCleaf, YR 1995 SN 0300-4430 JF Early Child Development and Care VO 111 SP 153 OP 80 AB 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)
