Story times, computer classes for Spanish-speakers to get underway at library

Bilingual family story times and computer classes for Spanish-speakers will begin at the library in February.

At the Asheboro library, family story times will take place at 6 p.m. every other Wednesday beginning February 1, and computer classes will be offered from 6:30-7:30 p.m. every other Wednesday beginning February 8. Computer classes at the Franklinville library are being developed; a schedule will be announced soon.

Both the story times and the computer classes are free and the public is invited.

The programs are part of the American Dream Starts @ Your Library project to help promote both reading literacy and computer literacy among native Spanish-speakers, for which the library received a $5,000 grant from the American Library Association funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.

For further information contact Claudia Alemán de Toomes, 318-6802 or catoomes@randolphlibrary.org.
