The Family Literacy Program is comprised of two libraries/community centers for all residents of Kuhio Park Terrace and Mayor Wright Housing. In addition to checking out books (which have all been donated), patrons can participate in weekly story hour, literacy activities, and receive help with homework or writing letters for business matters. Community volunteer groups offer Saturday story hour events, too.
