AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY GIVES VIDEOS TO LIBRARY

The Cape Girardeau American Legion Auxiliary recently donated one of the nation's most popular learn-to-read video programs to the Cape Girardeau Public Library.

The video series, titled "I Want to Read," is used by adults, teens and older children who can't read or want to improve reading and writing skills. It may be checked out at the library.

The American Legion and its auxiliary are sponsoring the READ USA Literacy Project across the nation to help fight illiteracy. A recent national survey revealed that 26 million American adults do not read or need better reading skills.
