  • @SummerNkim Not all of the locations filmed are inside Multnomah County libraries, but it most definitely is about the Multnomah County Library system.

  • This is not Multnomah county library!!!!!! Wow.... And i know its not cause i go to that library!:/

  • Iggy, you're forgetting seniors are adults.

    Additionally, programs for children assist in adult literacy in two ways. Obviously, children grow up to be adults, so such programs help build a more literate future. Also, these programs are helpful to the caregivers who attend, since they teach adults skills in reading out loud to children and generally help hone adults' literacy as well as that of the children. If you're teaching a kid to read, you're also indirectly teaching the adults present.

  • THIS IS RACIST

  • This vid was pretty pointless. The library is great. This video does not show why. And iggy is right, it doesn't even connect to its presented point.

    Lame

    lame lame

  • Is the library addressing the problem of adult illiteracy by encouraging reading in children and seniors? How does this help adults learn to read?
