Volunteer Appreciation Week
April 17th-23rd is National Volunteer Appreciation week and the San Leandro Public Library is taking some time this week to recognize and highlight all the work the library's volunteers have contributed to the library. Keep an eye out on the library's social media pages for our volunteer appreciation posts.
Also, we're working on creating a little gift for you all to show you our appreciation for your contributions to the library and the community. Stay tuned!
Thank you Project Literacy volunteer tutors!
Resource Spotlight
Bow Valley College ESL Literacy Readers
From the Bow Valley College ESL Literacy Readers overview page:
"Our collection of forty theme-based readers, along with an instructors guide will support ESL literacy instructors to create comprehensive, theme-based lessons for adult ESL literacy learners.
The themes are carefully chosen and are both of high interest to learners, and more importantly, relevant to their lives. Every effort was made to ensure the stories would authentically represent learners themselves as well as events and issues that a typical learner may experience."
Below are the links to the Bow Valley College ESL Literacy Readers:
