This document summarizes issues discussed during three “literacy cafés” organized by the Saskatchewan Literacy Network in that province in 2009. The cafés provide an opportunity for adult learners and literacy stakeholders to connect and exchange information.

The authors say that two messages were clearly expressed throughout the cafés: the abundant positive, learner-focused experiences that adult learners have benefited from in the region; and the strong need for a coordinated, collaborative approach to program delivery.
