Here We Are: Memoirs From A Legacy For Literacy |
|||||||||||||||||||||
Here We Are: Memoirs From A Legacy For Literacy includes entries from 68 learners who come from 16 places of origin; assisted by forty-five tutors. Chapters include topics such as childhood, family, friendship, traditions, transitions and more.
Susan Bécam, the library's Legacy for Literacy coordinator headed up the project. In 2007 Ms. Bécam had the distinction of being named a Literacy Champion by the Massachusetts Literacy Foundation. Lauded for her visionary leadership, Bécam grew the library's literacy program from the 2001 enrollment, when it served roughly 40 adult English-language learners, to its current enrollment of upwards of 500. The publication project was funded through a generous grant from the Massachusetts Literacy Foundation and Verizon. Copies of the memoir may be checked out of the library's collection. |
