Library to Enhance Adult Literacy Effort
The Ventura County Library Services Agency has received federal grants totaling $70,000 that will be used to enhance its adult literacy programs, officials said.
The library agency will use some of the money to hire part-time help to develop and manage a group reading and writing program for adults, according to officials. The group instruction program would be used in addition to or as an alternative for one-on-one tutoring.
About $12,000 of the grant money will be used to buy three computers, two printers and special software to be used by the small groups.
The tutoring programs are scheduled to begin Oct. 1 and run through September, 1996.
Meanwhile, the city of Moorpark has contributed a $5,000 grant to the county library agency to continue an adult literacy program in that city for one year.
