Camarena Memorial Library

A learning community

What is the adult literacy program?
The Adult Literacy Program provides educational opportunities for adults who want to improve their literacy skills. Students develop their reading, writing and critical thinking skills through one-on-one tutoring sessions that will focus on individual needs.

Where are the classes held?
Our program offers free classes in the public libraries throughout the Imperial County.

Who are the students?
The adults in our program have varied educational experiences. Some learners received education in the United States; other students have learned English as a Second Language and need help in developing their skills.

Most of the students in our program are bilingual who are interested in using language and literacy more comfortably.

Who are the tutors?
Most of our tutors are community volunteers who are interested in helping others. We also have Americorps members serving as tutors.

Adult Literacy Services
These services are offered to adults, 16 years or older who are not enrolled in school, who would like to improve their English reading skills. One-on-one tutoring is available upon enrollment in the program. Americorps members provide volunteer tutoring assistance to learners through the California Library Literacy Services program.

Families for Literacy
The second Thursday of each month (September thru June), the FFL families get together to spend time with their children. The main purpose of the program is to encourage early literacy through fun reading activities with their parents. FFL aims to expand language skills- reading, writing, speaking and listening. This program is for parents with children five years old and younger who are enrolled in the Adult Literacy Program. It is funded by LSTA funds administered through the California State Library.
