Program Support and Donations
The Redlands Adult Literacy Program is grateful for the funding it receives from the State California Library Literacy Services and city of Redlands for personnel costs. The need for adult literacy services is great in our community. An estimated one in five adults in the United States has difficulty reading job placement postings, medical directives, voting materials and other written materials crucial to functioning in this society. To meet this pressing need, donations and grants are used to fund adult literacy materials, technology, and classes.
Donations may be submitted via the PayPal button. Checks may be addressed to the Friends of A. K. Smiley Public Library, a tax-exempt, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, memo reference Adult Literacy, and mailed to: A. K. Smiley Public Library, 125 W. Vine St., Redlands, CA 92373.
