A newsletter written by students and tutors. Changing
lives one chapter at a time.
This year Adult Literacy Services is inaugurating
several new initiatives that are free to library patrons.
The first of these is Leamos, a
web-based curriculum designed by Centro
Latino for Literacy that teaches non-literate
Spanish-speaking adults how to read and write in Spanish.
The second is Cell-Ed,
which allows students to learn English anywhere, anytime, using their cell
phone. This program is best for those with unlimited phone minutes and texting.
For more information about enrolling please call
