LLLI FAQ Pages -- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about breastfeeding are great resources to recommend to mothers who do not wish to attend meetings or talk to a Leader by phone. FAQ pages give short answers to many common breastfeeding situations along with encouragement to learn more from LLLI publications and a local Leader. Many of us have personal friends and acquaintances who are not "joiners" but would benefit from LLLI's message. Educational Materials -- This section lists the seminars conferences and other educational programs LLLI administers. It can be used to show health care providers the opportunities that LLLI offers. Many are impressed that LLLI has "high tech" computer resources, giving our organization credibility in their eyes. Links to information on Breastfeeding Resource Centers, the Lactation Specialist Workshops, Physicians Seminars, LLLI Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program, the Center for Breastfeeding Information and other programs are provided. LLLI Group Bibliography -- The most up-to-date listing of books recommended by the LLLI Book Evaluation Committee is available here; new titles are added as they are reviewed. Georgeanne Mattise, Leader in Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA, reports that their Group's Leader Applicant found the immediate availability of the list helpful in both her preparation for leadership and Group Librarian work. A friend of LLL interested in donating a book can use the list as well. Groups are assured they can add the book to their Library; donors can use the handy online LLLI Catalogue to order. (Ed. Note: Recommended books may vary in Affiliates.)
