Mobile Literacy Aprendizaje Móvil:
Meets adults with low literacy skills and their families where they are, helping them progress to where they want to be in their lifelong learning journey.
Nontraditional library users and nonlibrary users who are building new habits are the target audience for the Mobile Literacy unit. The vehicle is based in Western Fresno County making visits to rural communities such as: Oro Loma, Firebaugh, Mendota, Cantua Creek, Tranquillity, San Joaquin, Five Points, Riverdale, Caruthers, Kerman, Biola and other unincorporated areas. Mobile Literacy staff is bilingual in English and in Spanish.
The Mobile Literacy unit attends community events meeting people where they are at, providing library cards, library resources, books to children with parent or guardian present, and educational workshops such as Citizenship Study and English Learning groups.
Workshops for families promoting early literacy, learning, and parenting skills are offered in addition to the services mentioned above.
