Literary Services:

Volunteers are needed to help adults improve basic reading, writing and speaking skills.  We offer literacy services at both Central and Oak View branch libraries.  Prospective Literacy volunteers attend training workshops and after successfully completing the workshop, volunteers are matched with adult learners for weekly two hour tutoring sessions.  Literacy tutors help adults improve literacy skills and reach important goals like performing better on the job, reading with children or helping with homework, becoming citizens, communicating with doctors and so much more.
