Addressing Adult Literacy in Southern Arizona

Literacy Connects helped more than 50,000 people last year.

Over the weekend, the Tucson Festival of Books brought together authors and readers from across the country. The goal was to celebrate reading and promote literacy. In Southern Arizona, that's a year-round task for Literacy Connects, which helped more than 50,000 people last year. Cydne Bolton is the nonprofit's Learning Center coordinator and shared the organization's vision with Lorraine Rivera.
