Corona
Public Library Adult Literacy Program
Mar
30 2018
The
Corona Public Library is proud to bring
awareness to the global literacy needs, including those in our own community,
and we are committed to providing resources to help make a positive change.
THE
SHOCKING FACTS
According
to ProLiteracy, every important social issue
is impacted by low literacy.
•
Children of parents with low literacy skills have a 72 percent chance of being
at the lowest reading levels themselves.
•
Of adults with the lowest literacy levels, 43 percent live in poverty, and 70%
of adult welfare recipients have low literacy levels.
•
Every year, one in six young adults—more than 1.2 million—drop out of high
school.
The
library’s Adult Reading Assistance Program provides
free tutoring for English-speaking adults in basic reading and writing skills.
Students are matched one-to-one with volunteer. Do you know someone who can
take advantage of this resource? Encourage them to sign up! Are you passionate
about making a difference? Volunteer to teach!
