Please describe your planned programming that explains what We will provide adult basic education you will do, how you will do it, for whom you will do it, and the tutoring, computer instruction, HSE anticipated benefits. (Max. 300 words.) tutoring, citizenship instruction, and conversation groups using staff and
volunteers to work directly with adults
to gain skills and knowledge to meet
their individual literacy goals as set with
the Roles & Goals model. We will
provide programs both in-person and
virtually, depending on the nature of the
program and the needs of the learners.
We use platforms including Zoom,
Google Meet, Google Classroom, and
others to support the virtual learners.
Our classes occur on different days and
times to accommodate the needs and
schedules of the learners and the
volunteers. Common goals include
getting a better job, helping children
with homework, passing the GED, and
learning to use digital devices at home
and at work. We will loan Chromebooks,
tablets, and hotspots to learners to
ensure they can access the internet and
connect with our virtual programs and
services. Our dedicated volunteers are
an important part of delivering services,
assisting individuals at whatever level
they start. We create a welcoming and
supportive atmosphere so people can
concentrate on the hard work of
learning, practicing, and deploying new
literacy skills. We will continue to
monitor developments in new ways to
deliver our program, and the best
practices for working safely with the
ongoing challenge of COVID-19.
We will continue the person-to-person
outreach and helping make sure our
current learners can spread the word
about our program, as we know this is
one of the primary ways our learners
find out about our programs and
services. We will create flyers about all
of the individual and small group
options, posting them in our library
branches and throughout the
community. We have seen our
eNewsletter and social media platforms
increase in importance as a way to
reach those needing our services, as
well as those who know someone that
might benefit from our services. We will

Though we don't receive funding from
them, we participate in the monthly
meetings, and they are always happy to
pass our information on to their
students. We anticipate being able to
resume our in-person Literacy outreach
events, which has been a great way to
expose our learners to more resources,
to recruit new learners and tutors, and
to build relationships with partner
organizations that can refer learners to
us. We will keep using sites such as
VolunteerMatch to recruit volunteers,
and will maintain our relationship with
CSUMB's Service Learning Center,
which has been a good source of
volunteers.

our programs and services, and are part

keeping our program relevant.

a. Family Literacy Services Yes
D. Family Literacy New / Continuing Continuing
Our FLS program focuses on the adult
learners with children aged 0-17 in their
households. We will assist the adults to
gain skills and learn how to help the
children improve their literacy skills
through individual coaching from their
tutors, or through our peer-/earning
programs. We will offer Family Reading
Circles (FRC) at least two times this
year, where parents and children come
together weekly over a five week period;
families read and work together, sharing
tips and techniques they use to
encourage reading at home. The parents
also receive instruction and practice
with the staff and volunteers on best-
practices to supplement the peer
support. We anticipate continuing with a
hybrid meeting format, as many of the

We will be looking at hybrid meetings,
virtual-only, and in-person only, and may
end up with a mix of types over the
course of the year. The FRCs are
extremely popular with our parents. We
anticipate resuming at least one, and
hopefully two of our open houses; the
one in the spring would focus on
storytelling and music as important
components in early literacy
development. The second one would
focus on family learning; adults and
children find out what resources the
library and community organizations
have that can assist children and their
parents. Open houses focus on our FLS
families, but are open to the community.
This provides an opportunity to do
outreach about our adult literacy
programs beyond our current families.

local adults with families about the adult

available through the library literacy
program. We anticipate leveraging our
social media channels as well, as this
reaches an expanding audience. We will
also make sure our partner
organizations are up-to-date on our
offerings so they are able to make useful
referrals. The power of our current
participants and word-of-mouth is also
very useful for us. We also get referrals
from our Read, Grow, Play program.

we engage learners around their
