In the spirit of Holiday giving, meet Carol Shaub who volunteers her time as an Adult Literacy Tutor


The Library, Arts & Culture Department Adult Literacy Program offers services to help adults improve their reading, writing, and speaking. Instruction is provided by trained volunteers. The Adult Literacy Program is free and open to all adults ages eighteen and over.

The Adult Literacy Program helps adults who want to learn English as well as English-speaking adults who need to improve their reading and writing skills. Conversation classes and one-on-one tutoring sessions are offered.

Do you want to share your love of reading? The Adult Literacy Program is seeking volunteers to work with adults to improve their reading, writing, and speaking skills. No prior teaching experience is necessary. Successful volunteers need to make a commitment of at least one hour per week for a minimum of six months.

If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about this Program, please email Juan Garcia or call 818-548-6450.
