Cooking Up Lifelong Literacy: Supporting Student Success through Extracurricular Workshops

Information literacy can go beyond the bounds of the traditional classroom or curriculum. Using a statewide literacy initiative as a foundation, we created in-demand workshops to help students develop skills that improve financial literacy, civic participation, and more. Since 2018, the Madlyn L. Hanes Library at Penn State Harrisburg has offered programs designed to support and encourage lifelong literacy to students. This paper details how to leverage campus and professional resources into engagement success, assess outcomes through multiple lenses, and build a team that strengthens library-student connections through focused life skill development.
