Help Someone Learn to Read at the Redbud Library - Change a Life!

Helping someone learn to read can help them have a better quality of life, access better jobs, complete paperwork on their own, read medicine labels, and advocate for their children. Through hard work and perseverance, learners can change their own, and their family’s lives, for the better.
