Library's Literacy Program Seeking Help
The library's new literacy coordinator is looking for tutors.
Monrovia Patch: January 8, 2011 by Alison Roeske
In a world where the ability to read or write can have a huge impact on an individual’s success, a literacy tutor can be "like a travel agent for the learner," said Kathy Knudsen, the new Literacy Coordinator for the Monrovia Public Library.
The library’s literacy program provides support for those who need to improve their literacy skills. Learners get one-on-one sessions with volunteer tutors from throughout the community and have access to a variety of learning materials.
Both Knudsen and Melanie Goodyear, who also coordinates volunteer opportunities at the library, say that more literacy tutors are urgently needed in 2011. There are about 75 volunteer tutors in the program, but there is also a list of 15 to 20 learners who are still waiting for tutors.
Tutoring requires a six-month commitment of about two hours per week, including preparation time.
