About Us

The Menlo Park Library began its adult literacy program in 1985. Project Read-Menlo Park usually has over 110 learners and 100 volunteer tutors. It has helped more than 2,000 adults learn to read. Participation in Project Read is completely confidential. Learners achieve their personal goals with the help of carefully matched Project Read tutors.

How Does Project Read Work?

The project provides FREE training to volunteer tutors who help adults learn to read and write. During the 12-hour training session, volunteer tutors learn methods of teaching and assisting adult learners in achieving their goals.

We provide One-On-One Tutoring as well as a variety of other literacy programs for adults and families.
