Huntington Beach Library ▬ National Library Workers Day

National Library Workers Day

Literacy Volunteers
Huntington Beach

Literacy Volunteers HBPL: 4.06.2021

April 6, 2021, is National Library Workers Day (NLWD), a time to recognize library professionals for their expertise and leadership skills in transforming lives and communities through education and lifelong learning. The day also reminds the public that library workers serve as community compasses that lead users to endless opportunities for engagement, enrichment, and development

For #NationalLibraryWorkersDay, we're highlighting the incredible humans who work at Huntington Beach Public Library. This post features one of our librarians, Amy Crepeau!

When I was a child, some of my favorite books involved libraries and librarians and I think that is where my interest began. I remember reading All of a Kind Family and how important library books were to the sisters and the chapter when Sarah lost her library book--the librarian was so compassionate. There were so many examples like this and some, unfortunately, where librarians were the opposite of compassionate but people telling how important libraries were to them inspired me. Beyond that, I love libraries! Programs, storytimes, books, computers, literacy, study space, free to use, people from infants to seniors coming through our doors everday…sign me up! In 2009, I finally decided to go to graduate school to earn my MLIS and the feeling of accomplishment I had in May 2016 when I walked across that virtual stage was far more than earning either my high school or college diplomas.

I have worked at HBPL since April 15, 1997.

I have worked in literacy until March 2021 and the best part was working with amazing learners and volunteers from Huntington Beach and seeing people accomplish important things like reading with their children, getting a better job, passing the driver’s test or becoming U.S. Citizens. It was constantly inspiring and people were so grateful to the library.    READ MORE ➤➤

My name is Sandra. I want to share with you how happy I am, because the literacy program has changed my life. They help me a lot to study. I have the privilege of having an excellent teacher, her name is Connie. Thanks to them and God, now I am an American citizen. By the way, I passed my test with 100%. For the first time I voted in the election for a new president. I am also learning more to speak and write. I am very happy and I am grateful for the literacy program.

Huntington Beach Library ▬ Tutor Tip: YouTube Travel Videos

Tutor Tip: YouTube Travel Videos

Literacy Volunteers HBPL

Literacy Volunteers HBPL:
11.20.2020

Using short YouTube travel videos is a great way to have a conversation and practice writing.

Start the lesson by asking your learner to watch a video prior to your meeting time, or watch it together on Zoom. Afterwards, talk about what you each saw in the video.

Then, practice writing!

Both you and your learner, independently, hand-write what you took away from the video, what was new, what you enjoyed, where you’d like to travel... Focus on putting ideas down on paper, not so much about spelling or grammar.

Last, read your sentences to each other person.

Literacy Volunteers HBPL is recruiting for adult volunteer tutors to assist other adults increase their English literacy skills.

Do you have a couple of hours a week to volunteer? Want to help someone read and write better than they do now? Join our volunteer team and help an adult gain skills to get a better job, help their children, read medical information and more.

All training will conducted online via Zoom, and all tutoring will be done online at this time. Workshops for both Central & Oak View programs start soon, so don’t delay!

Even though current conditions prevent you from meeting your adult learner face-to-face, you CAN help someone reach their goals. Begin your literacy volunteering by completing the online Tutor Orientation tutorial today.

We have two programs, the Adult Literacy Program at Central Library (714) 375-5102 and the Oak View Literacy Program at the Oak View Branch Library (714) 375-5104.

We always need tutors!

Huntington Beach Library ◯ Puzzle Me This, Puzzle Me That

Puzzle Me This, Puzzle Me That

Puzzle Maker has a great variety. We love the WORD SEARCH because it’s a fun way to reinforce spelling and recognition and to learn relevant vocabulary.
Choose the size of the puzzle, type in vocabulary words, and your puzzle is created for you. For a tactile experience, copy it to a Word doc so you and your learner can take pen to paper.


Relevant vocabulary is everywhere: a book you’re reading together, today’s news items, the DMV manual, a magazine article or a book they are reading with their child. The only limitation is your imagination (and we KNOW there is no limit to that).  READ MORE ➤➤
