Background
Studies indicate that 1 in 5 adults in the United States lack the literacy skills to function effectively. They can't read the newspaper or stories to their children, write letters or checks or fill out applications, and very often they can't find or keep jobs. Every day, doors are closed to them. But they can learn and improving their reading skills can change their lives.
Although basic funding for Literacy Plus is provided through the City of Hayward and the California Library Literacy Services Act, additional contributions from individuals, businesses and foundations enable us to maintain the activities needed to help as many people as possible overcome the crippling barrier of low literacy.

Tiny Tickets Add Up to
BIG
Money
Our Tiny Ticket fund-raiser
has brought us a big windfall. So far we have received over
$8,300 from BART for the tickets that YOU have turned
in. Please continue to help! Tell your friends and associates
about
Tiny
Tickets, and collect them for us at work and at your meetings
and gatherings. These tickets are helping us to buy additional
tutoring materials that we need to help our tutors and learners.
You can drop off BART tickets with tiny (or any!) cash amounts
left on them into the collection jars at the Hayward Main or
Weekes Branch libraries or mail them directly to LITERACY PLUS,
835 C Street, Hayward, CA 94541.
