Reach Out and Read
Pediatric early literacy program provides guidance from medical staff regarding the importance of reading aloud to young children. Information on early literacy development is shared during well child check-ups and new children's books are distributed at each visit.

Family Center
Family literacy programming strives to break the cycle of poverty and low literacy by improving the educational opportunities of young families. Our program provides a family-focused approach, serving parents and children with intensive educational and family support services including:

Adult Learning Lab
Instruction for adults (16 and older) who wish to improve their basic skills and/or obtain their GED. Other goals may include citizenship, improved math or writing skills, ESL (English as a Second Language), job seeking skills (keyboarding, computer skills, resume writing, etc.), or any other adult educational objectives.

Adult Literacy
Instruction for adults (16 and older) who wish to improve their basic literacy skills. It has been estimated that approximately 2400 individuals in Park County are in the lowest level of literacy.
