Limited English Proficiency: This is a self-guided program for adults with limited English skills. Students use books and videos to help them achieve English literacy skills. There is no time limit for this program, and staff provides assistance as needed.
Families for Literacy: Parents of children under the age of five who are enrolled in the Adult Literacy or Limited English Proficiency program are eligible for free children's books. Tutors and staff teach students how to read to their children.
