Aiken library launches free adult literacy program
A new adult literacy program, Turning Pages — Aiken, has launched at the Aiken County Public Library. This initiative, started by Literacy SC, aims to help adults improve their reading skills at no cost. The program offers free one-on-one tutoring for English-fluent adults over 18 who read below a ninth-grade level. Local volunteers, trained by Literacy SC, provide support during weekly sessions at the library. This program addresses the literacy challenges faced by 22% of South Carolina adults, impacting their daily lives and future generations. All materials are provided free of charge.
