Library Literacy Program partners with State Park
Adult learners in the program are paired with tutors to improve their reading, writing, and conversation skills at no cost and at their own pace.
This program is also available to adults who are learning English as a second language.
In addition to the adult program, a Family Literacy Program is available to families of adult learners with young children to promote literacy and lifelong learning for all ages.
In this program, children receive free books to build home libraries, and parents receive a monthly newsletter that includes reading recommendations, family activities, and more.
The latest development in the Family Literacy Program is a partnership with the Clear Lake State Park for the free monthly StoryWalk & Crafting Party, which takes place on the second Saturday of each month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
This month’s Storywalk is scheduled for Saturday, June 10, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Family Literacy Program will provide free books to families in attendance, and encourage adult learners in need to enroll in the Literacy Program.
This effort is also supported by the Lake County Literacy Coalition which supports the Library Literacy Program with fundraising and outreach, and select Board members will host the monthly StoryWalks.
Any and all Lake County residents are welcomed to attend the monthly Storywalks and are encouraged to bring family members of all ages and lunch for a picnic outside. Parking and day use fees are waived for Storywalk events.
The State Park is located at 5300 Soda Bay Road in Kelseyville.
Additionally, a new StoryTime in the Park event at Clear Lake State Park will take place on Wednesdays at 10:15 a.m. through the end of August.
