Adult Literacy Awareness Month - Santa Maria Library - Santa Paula Library

Adult Literacy Awareness Month
September Spotlight
on SCLLN Literacy Programs

Santa Maria Library

With illiteracy being such an important issue in today's society, we find it our calling to help those who are lacking or failing in their English skills. It not only profits the person we teach, but it helps to enrich our society and bring us all to the realization that being literate and capable are extremely important.

Volunteer tutors benefit as well because the experience of giving of your precious time to those in need is a rewarding one. Referring to his work as a volunteer tutor, a retired Apollo Engineer stated once: "Helping to put a man on the moon was the greatest thrill of my life...until I taught someone how to read."
