Remember your favorite book, when you were a kid? And, possibly, your parents or a favorite teacher reading to you–or the day when you first began to explore books on your own, and they suddenly took you to places you’d never imagined?
Would you like to give someone else a gift like that?
The Los Angeles Public Library Adult Literacy Program would like to hear from you. They not only help adults who would like to improve their reading skills–their Families for Literacy program teaches these adults to read to their children, AND provides free children’s books when they’ve mastered that skill!
Alicia Chavarin, Adult Literacy Coordinator at both the Robert Louis Stevenson and Benjamin Franklin branches of the Los Angeles Public Library, talked about the program’s volunteer needs.
Would you like to help the Families for Literacy Program? If you can donate your time as a literacy tutor, or donate children’s books, please call Alicia, at (213) 623-4070, extension 10190.
