BASIC LITERACY

Over 10 million adults in California function at or below basic literacy levels. They may not have the skills required to be gainfully employed or economically self-sufficient. They are unlikely to have the skills, and the confidence, to engage in their children’s education or participate in community activities. Yet once they start to learn, there is no stopping them . . . and you can help them get started!

INSPIRED CITIZENSHIP

According to the U.S. Census, nearly 1-third of Azusa residents were born outside the United States. The goal of our Inspired Citizenship program is to empower our community and encourage stronger civic participation for all City of Azusa residents.

The library offers:

weekly classes

study materials

1-on-1 coaching

special information workshops to help you and your family achieve your dreams of becoming U.S. citizens

GRASSROOTS ESL

According to the U.S. Census, nearly 1-quarter of Azusa’s 46,361 residents report they speak English “less than very well.” In response, the Azusa community has joined together to provide Grassroots ESL (English as a 2nd Language) to help limited English speakers gain confidence and skill in speaking English.

HEALTH LITERACY

Health Literacy Learning is a collaboration with the Azusa Neighborhood Wellness Center and the Azusa Pacific University Department of TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages).

Health Literacy Learning classes focus on English vocabulary, grammar, conversations, and reading and writing exercises related to topics such as nutrition, exercise and preventing disease.

Two levels of classes are offered. Each is scheduled twice a week, for 8-week sessions.
