ProLiteracy Launches Global Literacy Hero Contest to Raise Awareness of Adult Literacy
ProLiteracy: 10.24.2018

In an effort to help the 36 million low-literate adults in the U.S., ProLiteracy, the leader in adult literacy content development, programs, and advocacy for more than 60 years, is pleased to announce the launch of the ProLiteracy Hero Contest. ProLiteracy launched the contest to raise awareness of the adult literacy crisis, and to recognize the adult education and literacy heroes worldwide!

A panel of ProLiteracy judges chose the top 10 national finalists from hundreds of stories and submissions that were sent in from around the world. The video and story submissions are posted to the ProLiteracy website and have been opened up to a public vote at www.proliteracy.org. Each week, the finalists will be narrowed down until the first-, second-, and third-place winners are selected on November 16.

“The local literacy organizations are the heroes who make adult learners’ dreams come true,” said Kevin Morgan, President and CEO of ProLiteracy. “Choosing the top ten finalists out of so many worthwhile organizations was very difficult. They all deserve to be recognized.”

2 of The top ten adult literacy organization finalists are from California:

Corona Library :: Steve Armstrong Literacy Award 2018


We Flippin' Love Our Volunteers!

On Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018 the City of Corona Library and Recreation Services Department held their first annual department-wide Volunteer Recognition, “We Flippin’ Love You.” Aptly named for the pancake-themed brunch, 120 attendees shared thank-yous for the 16,101 hours of volunteer time they have contributed to the organization in the past calendar year.

With the help of these volunteers, the Library and Recreation Services Department has been able to provide vital services to the community in the form of funding, program assistance, program creation, and program implementation. Volunteers are an essential component to the success of programs taking place at the Senior Center, the Library, and the Circle City Center.  Considering that last fiscal year 373,000 patrons visited the library and 183,985 patrons attended a Library and Recreation program, volunteers directly impact Corona community members.


One such volunteer, Galen Howard, received the annual Steve Armstrong Literacy Award.  The Steve Armstrong Literacy Award originated in 2009 in honor of Steve Armstrong, former Corona Public Library Support Services Division Manager from 2002-2008. Each year the Adult Reading Assistance program selects a recipient of the award who demonstrates a high level of commitment to literacy.

Newport Beach Library :: Career Online High School


Career Online High School
Literally Speaking:  Sep/Oct 2018

In 2017, Newport Beach Public Library and Newport/Mesa ProLiteracy joined together to help adults in the area achieve their goal to obtain a High School Diploma.

The State of California made the achievement of this goal a priority and is helping libraries to offer a specialized program called Career Online High School “COHS”. Through a matching award program, students who complete a pre-requisite class are able to apply for a scholarship to complete their High School Diploma and receive certification in one of several career choices.

As COHS is a web-based program, it is a wonderful opportunity to give an adult the chance to get their High School Diploma in the convenience of their own home. Our first graduating class will be honored at International Literacy Day on September 13th at 10AM. Four students have completed the full curriculum which includes; Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science as well as their career training courses.

Congratulations to our graduates:
