Literacy Council Awarded Great Lakes Energy People Fund Grant
The
Otsego County Literacy Council was awarded $4855 by the Great
Lakes Energy People Fund to install a new tutoring space, offer
tutor training, and purchase new Adult Basic Education materials
and online resources. The tutoring space was installed when the
Library was refurbished in May. Since it’s installation in the
Spring, pairs of tutors and learners have met over 50 times in
this new space.
Anyone who receives service thru Great Lakes Energy can have
their bill rounded up to the nearest dollar. The funds raised
thru this rounding up process are used to fund grant projects
throughout the Great Lakes Service area. The Otsego County
Literacy Council would like to heartily thank Great Lakes Energy
and everyone who participates in the People Fund program!
