According to Queens Library, the Literacy Zone’s primary mission will focus on adult education at every level, whether helping someone to read or read English for the first time, or obtain greater computer skills to better prepare for a job. The Literacy Zone will hold classes in reading, writing, computer skills, GED test preparation and English conversation.
“One of the keys to lifting our economy out of this economic rut is job training,” Goldfeder said. “The new Literacy Zone is an exciting program that will help many Queens residents gain a better education and prepare them for a better job.”
The Literacy Zone will also feature special workshops on job readiness, financial literacy and health-related topics, and is funded by a grant from the New York State Department of Education.
