Literacy Services

Adults interested in improving their basic literacy skills are matched one-on-one with trained volunteer tutors in our community. Instructions are goal-directed and learner-centered. Pairs typically meet in their local library once or twice a week for an hour to an hour and a half each meeting. For more information on how to get started with improving your reading and writing, or how to become a volunteer tutor, please give us a call 1.888.538.7198.

The Literacy Coach is a 36’ custom-built vehicle that travels throughout the county sharing engaging early literacy programs with children under 5 and their families who may not otherwise have access to the library due to geographic, economic or language barriers. Visitors to the Literacy Coach enjoy a storytime, a brand new book for their home library, and the message that their library can help adults who struggle with reading and writing skills.
