Focus on Poverty: Self Study
This list of resources, books, videos, articles, and exercises was recommended as the most useful homework assignments by the participants in the 3-session Understanding Poverty workshops in the fall of 2017. If you have questions about any of them, would like further suggestions for continued learning, or have suggestions of resources to add, please contact Leah. Public Library Directors needing contact hours for certification can document up to 10 hours spent on these resources as Category C learning.
