Build Skills. Reach Goals. Support Your Family.

The Amador County Library offers free, confidential, one-on-one literacy tutoring sessions that are designed to support adults in building skills for everyday life, work, education, and personal goals. Many adults also use these skills to better support their families - such as helping children with homework, building confidence around school communication, and encouraging learning at home.
