COVID-19 Update July 8th, 2020
During the summer, staff are working limited hours. Settlement workers are available to help you and an appointment to meet by phone, email, Zoom or in-person can be made by contacting the local office near you. Visit our Settlement Services page to find your nearest office.
Other CBAL literacy programs have closed for the summer in most communities; however, some communities may have a few activities taking place. Visit our Community Programs page to access information and links to your local CBAL Facebook page.
We look forward to being able to see everyone again, and in the meantime, we will be sharing resources, virtual events, and other important news.
The fall is looking to be quite interesting with a whole new array of programs coming your way!
