Strengthening Individuals, Families, Communities and the Workforce
Literacy is not just the ability to read and write but the ability to think and to reason.
Faith LiteracyUnderstanding churches and faith and their impact on individuals and society. The study of the beliefs, values, roles and responsibilities related to belief and trust in and loyalty to God and the traditional doctrines of a religion. Reading LiteracyReading literacy is understanding, using, and reflecting on written texts, in order to achieve one’s goals, to develop one’s knowledge and potential, and to participate in society. Information Literacy A set of abilities requiring individuals to "recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information." Financial LiteracyThe ability to use knowledge and skills to manage one's financial resources effectively for lifetime financial security. Civic Literacy Skills and knowledge that citizens need in order to effectively participate in a democracy or a community: knowing how to participate in the electoral process, how to volunteer, how to voice an opinion, how to be an informed citizen, how to know how government works locally and globally. Civic Literacy also means appreciating and evaluating the opinions of others. Citizens of the U.S. have trouble answering the following questions-- What are the three branches of government? Name one right or freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment. Who is the commander in chief of the U.S. military? Health LiteracyThe degree to which an individual has the capacity to obtain, communicate, process, and understand basic health information and services to make appropriate health decisions.

LIBRARY EARNS STATE AWARD !!!
The Tupper Lightfoot Memorial Library in Brundidge, Alabama, has received the Alabama Public Library Standards of Achievement Award at the Bronze Level. The award is attained by exceptional public libraries in Alabama, in recognition of superior planning and levels of excellence.
The award signifies the hard work of community members for many years, since the founding of the library in 1959. It is especially in honor of the former director Jean Carroll, who retired as library director in 2015.
This honor is the result of dedication and support from the City of Brundidge, the Library Board (Sara Bowden, Chair; Ann Andrews;Willa White), and former board members, staff & patrons. The award was presented at the Alabama Library Association Convention in Gadsden, Alabama, on April 14, 2016, to Theresa Trawick, Library Director and Jennifer Amlong, Assistant Director.
The Alabama Public Library Standards consist of criteria that measure facilities, administration & governance, planning, budgeting, staffing, continuing education, promotion & partnering, collections, services and technology. The Tupper Library was one of four Alabama libraries that received the award this year.
