BEST (Adult Literacy)

 

Tuesday Nite Bookclub 1Since 1984, Blanchard Community Library's adult literacy program, Building English Skills Together (BEST), has been providing flexible and practical educational opportunities to support adult literacy in Santa Paula. 

BEST supports adult learners improve reading, writing, and conversational English. We also help to prepare for high school equivalency tests and to use computers and other digital tools.

One-on-one tutoring and small group sessions are available year-round. They are led by trained and dedicated volunteers committed to helping our learners achieve their goals.

ESL Classes:

The library offers two ESL classes. Level 1 supports adult learners who possess little to no English proficiency. Level 2 is offered to adult learners who have a good command of English and would like to advance their skills further. A TESOL-certified instructor teaches both classes. Classes and supplies are free. Walk-ins are welcome.
