Following is a partial list of the ever-changing opportunities for adults to explore new skills and ideas. It covers local resources within Wicomico County, Maryland plus links to state and distance learning sites. The Local Literacy Team is supported by the Maryland State Department of Education Literacy Works program to coordinate adult literacy activities within Wicomico County. The team includes representatives from the Wicomico County Board of Education, Project READ, WorWic Community College, Maryland External High School Diploma program, Wicomico County Social Services Department, DLLR Employment Services Division, the Lower Shore P.I. C., and the Wicomico Family Support Center. The team is charged with coordinating activities related to adult literacy within the county, and meets to ensure that all adult education providers within the county are aware of the range of programs and resources available, to identify needs within the county not being met by current services, and to facilitate cooperative activities among providers and public information efforts.
Meetings are open to the public.
Anyone interested in participating in Literacy Team meetings or in obtaining information regarding adult literacy activities in the county is welcome to contact Linda Parry, Local Literacy Team coordinator, at the Wicomico County Free Library.
