Hemet Library ◯ Gives Adults Reading, Life Skill
Hemet
Literacy Program
Gives Adults Reading, Life Skills
PE:
12.20.2019 by Diane A Rhoades
As
Christmas Day nears and people get ready to give and get cherished gifts,
students in the Hemet
Adult Literacy Program already have celebrated.
A
Saturday, Dec. 14, holiday luncheon brought them together to share their stories.
Looking forward to the lifelong gift of reading, each is thankful for a program
that is helping them reach their goals.
Lea
Ashworth started as a volunteer tutor in 2003 but soon became a Families for
Literacy coordinator and is now the adult literacy coordinator.
“I
have always had a huge love of reading and I am passionate about wanting to
share that with others,” she said. “I want to help our adult learners with
their reading and writing skills so they can have a better quality of life.”
═════════►
Some
want to search the internet, be able to follow a recipe, help children with
homework or read a story to them, interact with their child’s school or
teacher, be able to read and understand a rental agreement or help others by
reading a medicine label. The program has 90 adult learners and 20 tutors.
═════════►
The
program, which began in 1985, is paid for by a grant from the California State Library with
contributions from the city of Hemet. Free to adult learners, it is offered as
a service of the Hemet Public Library, where it is located. READ

Volunteers in Redlands
A Diverse Group With One Goal ◯ To
Change Lives
Redlands
Daily Facts: 11.09.2019 by Diane Shimota, Adult Literacy Coord: AK Smiley Library
The
Redlands community is known for its commitment to serving others to ensure that
everyone has the chance to be employed and educated. Without its volunteers,
the Redlands Adult Literacy Program
would not be able to meet its goal of helping adults who want to improve their
reading and writing skills.
Many
people are amazed to learn that approximately one in five adults in the United
States has difficulties with literacy. The Redlands Adult Literacy Program
currently serves over 100 learners who have requested literacy assistance.
Volunteer
tutors learn that adults seek help with their literacy because they want to get
a new or better job, help their children with their homework or further their
own education. Literacy volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds: some
tutors are retired while others are still employed, some volunteers have an
educator’s background, but others have worked in business, the military, or
local government. What successful adult literacy tutors have in common is that
they have a passion and ability to read, write and speak English, are sensitive
to the needs of adult learners, and are willing to assist adult learners in
meeting their literacy goals. READ

Remembering Lynda L. Jones
Learning
Connection: Sep/Oct 2019
With
sadness, I share the news that retired Senior Librarian Lynda Jones passed away earlier
this month. Lynda established our original Adult
Literacy Program and, together with
Director Cliff Lange and Assistant Director Geoff Armour, conceived of and
launched the
Centro de Información.
Later,
Lynda presented to Cliff the vision for combining these two programs into one
lifelong learning concept which became the Library Learning Center.
Lynda Louise Jones October 4, 1947 - July 15, 2019
Lynda L. Jones, age 72, of Oceanside, recently passed peacefully. Fourth generation Californian, born to Sid and Dorothy (Pierce) Jones, she and her sister, Debbie, enjoyed time at the beach. Lynda graduated with honors from the family alma mater, Occidental College. Later, she earned her Master's degree of Library Science at Simmons University. In Botswana, she worked at the Secondary School Library. She became the Founding Coordinator of the Adult Learning Program and the Centro de Informacin, after returning to California. READ MORE >>

the Newport/Mesa
ProLiteracy program at the Newport Public Library
"Catching
Words" is a short play about the topic of adult literacy in Orange County.
What
is literacy? Who is considered literate or illiterate? What does it feel to be
unable to communicate and how do we relate to a public space when we are unable
to communicate?
After
the performance, there will be a short talkback with the creative team and
experts in the field of literacy. The
