WASHINGTON -- As the National Institute for Literacy (Institute), a federal agency, prepares to cease operation this fiscal year, it will make available in bulk, a number of its scientifically based publications. The inventory includes a host of publications and resource materials for use by educators, researchers, adult reading and literacy providers, parents and families, and caregivers.

We hope that you are interested in acquiring these materials for use and dissemination by your agency, institution or organization. The Institute will provide free shipment of your order. We need to complete our distribution plan by the beginning of February with all inventory disseminated by March 30, 2010.

You can review the available publications on the Institute's Web site at www.nifl.gov and click on Publications. Thank you for letting me know of your interest in specific publications on or before January 30, 2010.

I look forward to responding to any questions that you may have about these publications and to providing you with inventory availability.
