The power of literacy lies not only in the ability to read and write, but rather 
in an individual’s capacity to put those skills to work in shaping the course of 
his or her own life. With the insight that genuine literacy involves “reading the 
word and the world,” renowned educator Paulo Freire helped open the door 
to a broader understanding of the term, one that moves from a strict decoding 
and reproducing of language into issues of economics, health, and sustainable 
development. Freire’s view of literacy is at once practical and all-encompassing. 
Whether it is the words of a language, the symbols in a mathematical system, 
or images posted to the Internet—literacy can transform lives.

Editor's Notes

  1. The symbol of Waterloo is the Butte de Lion, a famous local landmark, in memory of the 1815 battles against Napoleon which took place in the surrounding fields of the Waterloo community. An English translation of the monument is The Lion’s Hill. Borrowing from this image we have chosen “Climbing the Butte de Literacy - Librarians : Supporting Language, Learning & Literacy” as the theme for the 7th Triennial Conference. To reach the summit of the Butte one must face the challenge of 226 steps, we as librarians have our own challenges to face as we seek to meet the literacy needs of our school communities. Certainly not insurmountable but they are a struggle at times nonetheless. Atop our butte is an open book – a symbol of the librarian’s love of the written word.
  2. Link the idea of literacy to reading a map on a journey up the mountain of literacy.
