Lord Baltimore Lions support adult literacy at Frankford library
Members of the Lord Baltimore Lions Club recently visited Frankford Public Library to bring good wishes and some support for the work of the adult literacy program offered at the Library.
Lions Paul Bolton and John Monahan represented the Lord Baltimore Lions Club and met with Frankford Library Director Rachel Wackett and Joan Loewenstein, literacy coordinator. The Lions Club offered a donation to be used toward the purchase of items to specifically assist adult students in developing skills. Wackett said, “This donation will be used toward the purchase of steady reader kits that include books and CDs that facilitate better comprehension and retention for our adult learners." The literacy program at Frankford Public Library offers tutoring in basic reading and writing, math and financial literacy, English language learning and civics education.
The Lord Baltimore Lions Club learned about this program after assisting a woman a few months ago in getting an eye examination and eyeglasses. The woman was a student in the adult literacy program at the Frankford library, and the new glasses have greatly assisted her in her course work.
