Are you interested in helping someone learning to read better, study for the GED or perhaps improve math skills? The Gafney Library Literacy Program volunteers and staff have helped more than 400 area residents do just that over the last eight years in a well established literacy program. Students have learned to balance a checkbook, advance to a higher reading level, write a resume or learn interviewing skills. They have improved in studies enough to move on to college, attend beauty school, enter the armed forces, enter apprenticeship programs or obtain a better job. Some students have learned to read to be able to read to their children. Our math specialists have worked with adults who are taking college math but have been out of school for several years. You may be surprised at the number of adults who cannot read well enough to fill out a job application or take a driver�s test. If you are interested in helping a fellow resident, please call library director Beryl Donovan at 522-3401 during the library�s open hours of Tuesday and Thursday 1-7:30; Wednesday and Friday 10-noon and Saturday 9-2:00 p.m. The time commitment varies and is established by the student and volunteer, usually an hour or so a week. Join the lively group of volunteers now!
