AJE is pleased to share this D.C. Public Library Adult Learning Department Program Directory with our families. If you are an adult interested in furthering your education take a moment to read about how this Program Directory can help.

The D.C. Public Library Adult Learning Department developed this Program Directory to help you find area adult literacy programs and services. The programs offer classes or tutoring to help you improve your skills.

Where is the Adult Learning Department?

The Adult Learning Department is located in the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, 901 G Street NW, Second Floor, Room 205M

What is the role of the Adult Learning Department?

The Adult Learning Department believes that literacy is a right, not a privilege, and encourages potential adult learners to study by providing high quality adult-oriented materials, guidance in selecting appropriate materials, access to computers, and knowledgeable information and referral. To foster professional development, it provides tutors and teachers with (1) a wide array of materials (2) training opportunities and (3) up-to-date professional information and research in the field of adult learning. By providing “tours” for adult learners enrolled in local literacy programs, the center helps to demystify the library. The Adult Learning Department serves the entire D.C. Public Library system and strives to maintain, and expand, the Library’s services to adult and family literacy practitioners and students in the District. If you find a program that you would like to attend, call for more information about signing up. We hope that you find this directory helpful.
