Many of our students used a library for the first time. Others improved their job skills and were promoted; some took tests for certification in a specific area of their jobs; one student obtained his airplane mechanic license; some went on to training programs, leaving public assistance; some became citizens. Parents, who had not previously been able to do so, read to their children. This not only creates a wonderful bond but establishes modeled reading behavior which children emulate. It has been shown that parents who cannot read often perpetuate an intergenerational cycle of illiteracy.

has also been made available to other Literacy Volunteer agencies in
