Readers = Leaders: Adult Literacy Giving Day
is one week from today! Imagine the fear of not being able to Get a Job, Read
Medical Labels, Vote, or Help Children with Homework.
Support The Corona Public Library Foundation and help
English-speaking adults who need to improve their lives through better reading
& writing skills.
Please share and spread the word!
Watch throughout the week for facts about adult literacy
right here in Corona and Western Riverside County.
Join in giving to Corona Public Library Foundation's
campaign Help New Adult Readers Become New Leaders!
Imagine not being able to read street signs: That generally
means no driver's license. Or what about being in an accident and coming out of
a coma to find you can no longer read. These are just two examples of real
situations facing adult learners in the Corona Public Library's Adult Reading Assistance Program.
Every day, staff & volunteers work with adults trying to
improve their lives while facing the huge hurdle of limited reading and writing
abilities. Your contribution will help provide new resources for the learners
and their tutors, including workshops, tutor training, computer software for
literacy and much more.
With your help, we can change someone's life:
"Eloise" took the written driving test, only missed passing by one
and will be taking it again very soon, while "Dennis" is now reading
at a sixth grade level and negotiating with two companies for the best job
offer. Don't hesitate: Please give now!
