The new class will be offered at the Redbud Library located at 14785 Burns Valley Road in
Clearlake.
Classes will begin on Friday, March 7, and will be offered weekly on Fridays from 1:15 to 2:45 p.m.
Classes and all materials and supplies are free to students, open to all levels and native languages, and will be taught in English.
For more information or to sign up for the class, call the Library Literacy Program at 707-263-7633 or email
In addition to the free ESL class, the Library Literacy Program offers free one-on-one tutoring for adults who wish to improve their reading and writing skills, and adults who wish to learn English.
The program is in need of bilingual volunteer tutors to work with learners with limited to no English skills.
No experience is necessary to become a literacy tutor as long as one has patience, a desire to help others, and a good command of the English language.
Tutor training, where volunteers learn useful techniques for teaching adults to read, is provided free of cost, along with ongoing support.
Upon completion of tutor training, tutors will be matched with learners, with tutoring hours being flexible for both the tutor and learner; sessions are typically held once per week for one hour.
The program is supported in part by the California Library Literacy Services and by the Lake County Literacy Coalition.
If you are interested in becoming a literacy tutor or know someone who could benefit from our services, please call 707-263-7633 or email
