The Adult Learning Program is the adult literacy service of Carlsbad City Library. The program serves English-speaking adults who want to improve their basic reading and writing skills.
At the Adult Learning Program we've helped hundreds of adults to become more confident and independent.
Adult learners:
Develop basic reading skills
Improve spelling and writing
Gain general knowledge
Apply literacy skills in daily life.
In September 1998, Carlsbad Library's Adult Learning Program began a cooperative literacy effort with Carlsbad High School. Special education students come daily during regular school hours to the Adult Learning Program site. Ninth through twelfth graders are tutored one-to-one in basic reading and writing skills by their special education teacher and aide and by the staff and volunteers of the Adult Learning Program. Enrollment is done through the high school and students receive high school credit.
