Our goal is to make a difference in our community for adults in and around Campbell county seeking to improve their reading and writing skills and for adults who seek to improve their English speaking, reading and/or writing skills. Tutors and students usually meet once a week, either one-to-one or in a small
group, at one of the four Campbell County library locations (Rustburg, Altavista,
Brookneal and Timbrook). The instruction is centered around the student's goals. Through the literacy volunteers program, the volunteers are trained, who in turn help residents of Campbell County benefit from improved literacy and/or English language skills. Each year the LVCCPL helps hundreds of people achieve their goals related to reading and communicating in English. With those improved skills and confidence, students can improve their job prospects and financial situation, read bedtime stories to their children, participate more fully in society, and the benefits are endless. Elizabeth Saunders is the Adult Literacy Volunteer Program Manager for the Campbell County Public Library System, a volunteer-based program which provides free tutoring in Adult Literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL) to residents of the county and surrounding areas.
