"Community Feud" Fundraiser

Monrovia Public Library Literacy Services Program

Monrovia Public Library Foundation

Sunday, November 8^th: 1-3 p.m.

Team Up! Gather your family and friends who like to have fun and put together a team. Similar to the game Family Feud, your team will compete against other teams and try to figure out what responses your fellow Monrovians gave to survey questions while helping raise money for the Monrovia Public Library Literacy Services Program.

Individual tickets ($40) and sponsorships are available for purchase at Monrovia Public Library Foundation. For more details call 626-393-1113

Come out and support literacy services in your community!

Why is literacy SO important?

English author Rumer Godden said that, “When you learn to read, you will be born again … and you will never be quite so alone again.”  Unfortunately, 32 million America adults know the isolation caused by illiteracy.  Nearly 15% of U.S. adults cannot read, translating to more than 1 in 10.

In the past few years, the funding for literacy programs has been reduced by 40% due to statewide budget cuts.  Local adult education and funding for school libraries have also been severely cut, leaving Monrovia Public Library as the sole resource for literacy programs.  These cuts mean that the Monrovia Public Library Foundation must increase its fundraising efforts to offset the loss of state funding.  We hope you will come to this event for fun while at the same time helping support the Literacy Services Program.

For more information, please contact the Monrovia Public Library at (626) 256-8247.

Redlands Library - A.K. Smiley Public Library to get full-time adult literacy coordinator

A.K. Smiley Public Library to get full-time adult literacy coordinator

Redlands Daily Facts: 10.23.2015 by Sandra Emerson

The A.K. Smiley Public Library is getting a full-time adult literacy coordinator to supervise the growing adult literacy program.

The library has been awarded an annual $52,000 grant from the California State Library to expand the part-time coordinator position to full-time through June 2018.

The City Council approved the part-time position in fiscal year 2014-15, which helped make the library eligible for the grant.

Dottie Podolak was hired as the part-time coordinator in 2014.

Katherine Gifford and Trudy Waldron have served as volunteer coordinators for the program.

The program has 170 volunteers who have been trained to help as tutors, technical assistants and outreach ambassadors, Waldron said on Tuesday.

“Because of the generous support of these volunteers, over 300 local adults have been helped with their reading and writing skills over the years,” she said.

“As a former teacher in this district, I am aware of how strengthening these skills will impact the economic security and the self-worth of these folks.”  READ MORE !
