The Adult Literacy Program has a training session in the month of February for those interested in making a positive difference in someone's life. Adults must attend a training session of thirteen hours provided by Claudia Dailey, Adult Literacy & Training Coordinator. Dailey will teach them a variety of literary training techniques for one-on-one teaching. As a literacy tutor they will also be eligible to attend Literacy Support Sessions held at the library throughout the year in which they can share experiences and insights with other tutors.
The training session follows: Thursday, Feb. 7, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Thursday, Feb. 14, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Sat., Feb. 16, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursday, Feb. 21, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tutors will serve a minimum of two hours a week. The program is in need of tutors for the morning and evening hours.
"The tutors offer a way to a more successful life for their students. Many students have gained confidence and skills to become better students and successful workers," said Jan Palen, senior librarian. She adds that the tutors love what they do. "Many have been in this successful program for years."
"Both students and tutors gain confidence in this process. Many have lasting friendships because of this program," Palen said.
Registration is required. For information or to register, call Claudia Dailey at 904-7360 ext. 23.
