Adult Literacy Services
The Escondido Public Library Literacy Services offers free, confidential tutoring to English-speaking adults (18 years or older) to improve their reading, writing, math, and basic computer skills. Adults request literacy services from many different walks of life. We work with the goals of the adult in tailoring a program that will assist them in their life experiences.
