Media Lit...

During my visit to the Champaign Public Library, I was made of aware of this link and think it adequately showcases the multitude of services offered for youth, and adults:

Furthermore, "[b]y teaching children how to better interpret illustrations and visual media, CPL librarians hope to accomplish two things: 1) help emergent readers to recognize connections between text and art, to see illustrations as a whole, and understand basics of how art works; 2) to help older students connect reading with pictures, and lead them toward visualization as they read more complex texts."
