Adult Literacy Program
Winnipeg Public Library has two adult literacy sites. The stage 1 and 2 program is held at Harvey Smith Library (999 Sargent Ave.) (WELL Program). High stage 2 and stage 3 is held at Millennium Library (251 Donald St.). Both sites are funded by the Manitoba Government.
The Adult Literacy Program offers basic literacy upgrading (English reading, writing, speaking) for Manitoba stage 1 and 2 literacy learners. Coming soon - new for fall 2025 is a stage 3 program! Individualized learning plans are created with the adult learner and classes support learners to reach those goals. Basic computer, job and math skills are included in class activities. The program also helps learners prepare for more advanced learning in Adult Learning Centres, GED/CAEC, and employment and personal goals.
The programs are led by an adult literacy instructor with all the resources of the library - and special resources only for learners. Learners must be adults 18+ who have not been in school in the last year.
