Adult Basic Literacy Program
Many people take reading for granted, but 6% of adults in Boone County don’t have that skill. These adults struggle with many daily tasks like reading instructions, applying for a job or filling out forms.
Through generous donations from our community, the library is now able to offer “Read to Succeed,” a program to help adults who struggle to read. Adult students who are fluent English speakers will be paired with a qualified volunteer to provide personal tutoring and other resources to help them improve their reading and writing skills.
With improved reading ability, students will be able to unlock new opportunities for personal and professional growth with greater earning potential.
To help us transform lives through literacy, learn more about becoming a “Read to Succeed” volunteer.
We are now accepting applications for reading students.
If you are interested in supporting “Read to Succeed,” but can’t make a time commitment, consider making a donation.
