Library to celebrate International Literacy DayDaily Pilot: Aug 27, 2007: by Joseph Serna
Newport Beach Public Library Literacy Services will be celebrating International Literacy Day on Thursday, Sept. 6.
The day’s program will focus on the importance of literacy outreach in the community and will recognize the contributions of the many volunteers and tutors that work in the local literacy program, as well as the learners who work hard to acquire new skills.
This year’s theme, “Unlock the Potential,” is fitting because the program will honor Rochelle Hoffman award recipient Donnie Madril, a truck driver who needed help with spelling and reading in order to complete the forms and reports necessary for work.
Two local finalists in the California Library Literacy Services “Writer to Writer” challenge will also be recognized.
The program will be from 10 a.m. to noon in the Friends Meeting Room at the Central Library, 1000 Avocado Ave. in Newport Beach.
