Brandt views literacy as a “valuable—and volatile property”
that can potentially help individuals gain (or deny)“…power or
pleasure, [accrue] information, civil rights, education,
spirituality, status, [and] money.”

“as new and powerful forms of literacy emerge, they diminish
the reach and possibilities of receding ones… forms of literacy
can now rise and recede many times within a single life
span…this phenomenon is what makes today’s literacy feel so
advanced and, at the same time, so destabilized.”

examination of a person’s literacy sponsors “…exposes
the deeply textured history that lies within the literacy
practices of institutions and within any individuals’
literacy experiences.”

“Accumulated layers of sponsoring influences—in
families, workplaces, schools, memory—carry forms of
literacy that have been shaped out of ideological and
economic struggles of the past”

“We have to make sure schools and libraries
invite critical and active uses of media that
strengthen our democratic potential.”
Dr. Deborah Brandt
“this means that our democratic institutions
(schools and libraries particularly) have to
work hard and thoughtfully to
mitigate these forces.” Deborah Brandt

If libraries aspire to “…nourish new kinds of knowledge producers, social innovators, and citizens who establish
alternative paths to opportunity and social
mobility” (Watkins), libraries must continually be aware of the ways they
function as sponsors of multiple forms of literacy
through regular action and reflection.
As writing rises in
prominence as the
“literate experience of the
consequence”, how will
this impact or reposition
reading literacy?
What are the implications
for libraries that have
traditionally privileged
reading literacy?
