Abstract
Lubuto's success at helping impoverished and often illiterate young people become excited about reading and learning reminds us of the importance of basic literacy services to disadvantaged student populations; such services include read-aloud programs, one-on-one tutoring, hi-lo reading materials, and unstructured time to allow students to explore information resources on their own without assigned tasks to complete. Agosto and Hughes-Hassell (2007) detailed these benefits of collecting culturally-relevant resources and concluded "that school libraries should be well-stocked with resources representing a wide variety of cultures and that school library media specialists should collaborate with teachers to identify ways to use them in their classes" (Agosto and HughesHassell 2007, 148).
