Read and Write Better with Literacy

The City of Commerce Library offers one-on-one tutoring for adults 16 years or older who want to improve their reading and writing skills. Services are also available for adults who have learned English as a second language and would like to improve their English language skills. All materials are free and all tutors are trained to help adults raise their reading and writing skills.
