One third of Columbia's adults cannot read a children's book.

We have taught over 4,000 adults to read through our literacy program, Turning Pages.

What is Turning Pages?  Turning Pages works one-on-one with adult learners to assist in improving reading, writing and math skills, GED preperation and English-as-a-New-Language (ENL).

Who is served?  Turning Pages has the opportunity to serve adults at every age and in every stage of life. We also have the ability to serve children through our Rolling Readers program. 

What is the mission?  The mission of the Turning Pages program is to enable adults to improve their English language and reading skills through customized learning programs.
