Library seeking literacy program volunteers
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!
