Central Coast Literacy Council looking for volunteers

May 12—The Central Coast Literacy Council and the Lompoc Literacy Program are looking for volunteer tutors to help adults learn to read and write English.

Volunteers meet one on one with an adult student at the Santa Maria Public Library, 421 S. McClelland St., or Lompoc Library, 501 E. North Ave., for two hours per week.

According to the council, no prior teaching experience or second language skills are necessary to participate.
