American Dream Starts

Pasquotank-Camden Library Selected to Receive American Dream Starts @ Your Library® Literacy Grant for English Language Learner

The Pasquotank-Camden Library  is one of the seventy public libraries selected by the American Library Association (ALA) to receive a $5,000 grant as part of “The American Dream Starts @ your library®” literacy project.

 This initiative is funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, which provides funds for libraries to develop literacy programs for adult English language learners.  In addition, the library received $1,000 in matching funds from the Pasquotank-Camden Library Foundation.


Library

The Pasquotank-Camden Library joins libraries in large cities and rural towns throughout Dollar General’s market area.

 The library will collaborate with Northeastern Community Development’s Nuestra Casa De La Comunidad Hispana (La Casa). La Casa provides services (i.e. English as a Second Language,  health awareness, and much more) for the Hispanic/Latino community.

 The bookmobile will start the Cultivating Adult Literacy @ Your Library (CAL) initiative by providing bilingual and Spanish materials, conducting “conversational” (i.e. reading groups and adult education games) workshops to the Hispanic population at La Casa this fall.
 

Library

Library Director, Jackie King stated, “that the library is proud to be a part of the American Dream Starts @ Your Library literacy initiative because the lack of adult literacy skills affects community development and the welfare of children.”

For more than a century, public libraries have been a cornerstone of the American Dream, providing equal access to information of all kinds. In fact, libraries are among the first American institutions immigrants turn to for help in learning how to read, write and speak English. 

The 2005 National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) found that one in 20 US adults have such limited English skills that they can’t read a newspaper or help their children with schoolwork.

“The American Library Association deeply appreciates Dollar General’s generous support and applauds their vision for a more literate America,” said Dr. Camila Alire, ALA 2009-2010 President. “The American Dream Starts @ your library serves 70 communities, reaches thousands of adults, and helps libraries change lives across generations.”
