17/8/2007 - Libraries offer help to budding learners

From next month, Cumbria County Council will be offering help to budding adult learners.

Starting again in September, libraries across the county will be joining forces with the council's Adult Education Service to offer an array of flexible courses on everything from literacy and maths to creating the perfect CV for that all important job application.

English courses are also available for people with a different first language. For the first time, written information on these courses will be available in Polish and Chinese.

For families, there are courses on healthy living, arts and crafts and storysack making. Parents and carers will also be able to access resources to help children with their homework.

More information on the range of courses on offer is available from local libraries or on the county council's website www.cumbria.gov.uk
