Riverside County Library System Adult Literacy
Program
Riverside
County Library System Adult Literacy Program provides adult literacy services to our communities
through one-on-one literacy tutoring, English-as-a-Second-Language classes and
family literacy events.
The program is supported by
funding from the California State Library Literacy Services, the California
State Department of Education, private organizations and businesses in our
communities, Riverside County and through the generous support of our many
volunteers throughout the County.
The goal of the Families for
Literacy programs is to introduce the adult learner and his/her family to the
value and joy of reading as a family.
The underlying concept of
these programs is that children who are talked to and read to by adults learn
to read better and as a result break the cycle of illiteracy.
