Babies, Books and "Impact": Problems and Possibilities in the Evaluation of a Bookstart Project.
Hall, Elaine
Educational Review, v53 n1 p57-64 Feb 2001
Reevaluation of Bookstart, a British project to promote library use and book sharing with babies, found that 53% of pilot families had never used the library; younger caregivers were less likely to use libraries. However, data may have been miscalculated if parents used their own instead of children's library cards. Many parents spoke positively about the early literacy experience. (SK)
