While libraries are famous for being great places for readers, librarians understand that reading doesn't come easy to everyone. No matter your reading abilities, the library is for you!

In this program, you'll get to talk with Adult Literacies Manager Steven Kelly about some of the challenges that many adults face with reading, learn about resources and steps they can take to become better readers, and ways they can enjoy using the library without needing to be strong readers.

We're less "shhhh" and more "come on in." Stop by to learn with us!

Whether you're thinking about college or looking to start a new career, get ready to find your next opportunity at the College Transfer & Job Fair on Wednesday, February 25 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the Cowley College Brown Center. The event is free and open to the public!
