If you cannot read you:

  • cannot read instructions on medications;
  • cannot sign your name;
  • cannot read street signs; or
  • cannot read to your children, then this is the program for you.

ESL and Adult Basic Education classes have started meeting at the Saginaw Public Library.  If you know of anyone who needs help in either of these areas, please call the Adult Literacy/ESL Librarian, Janet Fick, at 817-230-0341 or email jfick@ci.saginaw.tx.us.   The Library has ESL and Literacy teachers already trained and waiting for a student.  The Literacy classes will be a one on one session (one student to one teacher), and will meet in the Library.  The ESL classes will meet with 2-3 students to one teacher.  The classes are free to the public.
