Library Services

Welcome to the Library Literacy Connection - not a school, but a world open to learning for adults, founded in 1992. What better place than a public library for a person to learn to read? With the help of library staff and trained volunteers, nearly two hundred adults have learned to read or improved their reading skills in a setting with diverse offerings ranging from one-to-one tutoring and multimedia learning packs to books of poetry and the World Wide Web.

Each tutor/learner pair is working with a unique plan at their own pace, using materials that are interesting and useful to the learner. Our adult learners are a diverse group. Some are people who were kept from being educated years ago, due to racial and/or economic factors; others are people who graduated from high school, but somehow never really learned to read in the process. We offer these learners help by using techniques and materials that work for them. We all continue to learn by doing.

Adults in the community who are interested in self education without a tutor are also welcome to use the Adult Learning Center, which has materials on many subjects, in a variety of formats, to meet the needs of people with different learning styles and interests. Whether you are looking for fun ways to encourage your children to read more, or you need simply written information about careers that don't require college, you may find some things of interest in the Adult Learning Center.
