Graduation and College Dropout Rates

More high school grads than ever are going to college, but 1 in 5 will quit
Hechinger Report, 7/5/18
The Impact of Literacy and Library Services on Crime Rates and Public Safety EveryLibrary Institute we demonstrate the impact that libraries have on literacy levels and the long term influence of literacy on educational and professional achievement. We demonstrate how public and school libraries can positively impact reading and literacy levels and help reduce crime in their communities. We propose some policy and funding propositions that could lead to lower rates of crime and incarceration through better funding for libraries.
