Adult literacy programs face elimination under proposed budget cuts in California.
Quote:
Funding for library programs that teach adults how to read would be cut if budget reductions proposed by Gov. Jerry Brown are approved, area library officials said.
Under Brown's proposal, the state no longer would fund library programs in which volunteers teach adults who need help with reading. That cut, plus other reductions in library funding, is part of Brown's stark budget plan for California, which would eliminate $30.4 million in state money for libraries.
