Generous
donors and grantors have enabled the Redlands
Adult Literacy Program to acquire a
wide selection of literacy materials that are available for checkout by anyone
in the community. These materials may be helpful to students who want to
improve their reading and writing skills, and adults who want to improve their
English literacy skills. You are invited to peruse the adult literacy
collection at A. K. Smiley Public Library where you will find: fiction and
nonfiction stories, biographies, abbreviated classics, graphic novels, audio
books, and workbooks that enhance learning for those who are working to improve
their literacy. Literacy books are written with themes that appeal to adult
readers, but with grammar and vocabulary that make the books easy to
understand.
The adult
literacy collection includes contemporary stories that are available to
everyone regardless of their reading level. The Gemma
Open Door Series books are quick and easy to read. One of these books, The Cell Phone Lot by Greta Gorsuch, was chosen by the adult learner book club for
their November selection. The book is a story about a young woman who lost her
job and found herself unable to pay her bills. This resilient young woman found
a way to generate income by working for a ride-sharing company. Through this
new endeavor, she built relationships with people she met as they waited for
riders at the cell phone lot.
