Julie's story

After reaching out to Kinimathatakinta/George Town Library for help with her reading and maths, Julie can now do many things that have changed her life, such as going into a supermarket with confidence and being able to read the prices of things. Julie can now also read to her children and grandchildren and help them with their homework.

You can see more of Julie’s story in the video below.
