 Adult Literacy Program Mission Statement
Lassen Library Literacy Program is committed to assisting any adult in the area with personal reading and writing issues thus giving them the opportunity to improve their quality of life.
 "Learning to read changes a life at any age"
Learner Information
Learning to read is convenient and it's FREE, confidential and private. No one will know about an adult's participation in the Literacy Program. The program is individualized to each student's interest and needs.
Literacy students can be anyone over 21 years of age. There are many adults in the Susanville area that may be functionally illiterate. Some are parents, business owners, or retired residents. They all show courage when they admit that they need to improve their basic skills in reading, writing and mathematics.
One to one and/or small group tutoring videos, computer programs and audio cassettes are available to learn and practice.
Citizenship classes are available to help anyone interested in becoming a U. S. citizen. To become a citizen, persons must have lived in the United States for at least five years (three years if married to a U. S. citizen). We help people send for the application for naturalization and help prepare them for the citizenship test. Preparation for other tests is also available.
If qualified contact the Literacy Program to make an appointment.
Volunteer Tutoring
Literacy Program tutors are unpaid volunteers. They meet with their students at convenient times. Student and tutor meet as often as needed. Tutors usually commit to one to two hours per week. Students often come several times a week to work in the computer lab. Tutors do not need college degrees or teaching experience. Time and commitment are their qualifications. The Literacy Program provides our tutors with training, materials, a newsletter and other support.
