I coordinate a program from the Louisville Free Public Library (KY) and
local county Adult Basic Education classes. The classes (about 40 in
number), including family education, ESL and ABE/GED, visit the library
2-3 times a year.
Some ABE/GED teachers don't see the value of classes visiting the
library. They say students are only interested in their GED and don't
want to take time away from class.  
The first library visit is general in nature--an introduction with tour,
incentive gift, refreshments.  Subsequesnt tours introduce students to
the internet, research, etc.
Most classes and instructors have formed relationships with the library
that are enhancing teaching and students' learning.  What about the
others?  What articles can I go to for information on the benefit of
classroom/library collaboration?
