Everyone Needs to Read...

The Kalamazoo Literacy Council is partnering with Douglass Community Association and the Alma Powell Branch of the Kalamazoo Public Library to open a Community Literacy Center this summer.

The center will provide FREE one-on-one literacy tutoring for adults in addition to parent literacy, work literacy and health literacy activities. Tutoring will take place at the Alma Powell Branch Library.
