Literacy For All: 2.27.2020 with Jose Cruz

From the Escondido Public Library, we are joined by Sheila Rodriguez, Assistant Literacy Coordinator, Cynthia Chisum, President of the Friends of the Escondido Public Library, and Yvonne Brett, Treasurer for the Friends group. We learn more about the Escondido community and the services and programs offered by the library to support library patrons. The adult literacy program is highlighted. Also highlighted is the Scrabblethon, recognized as the largest Scrabble competition in the region. The event is now in its 16th year and will take place on Saturday, March 7, 2020, in Escondido.  LISTEN 29:57
