MISSION:
Our mission is to assist individuals with reading and writing
improvement and to teach adults and families to utilize the public library
as a resource for lifelong learning.
The County of Los Angeles Public Library offers free
adult and family literacy instruction at Literacy Centers & Community Libraries
convenient to tutors and learners. The program became part of the
California Literacy Campaign
in 1984 through an initiative of the
California State Library.
Since 1984, the Library has expanded literacy services to meet the needs
of adults and families wanting to improve their reading and writing
skills.
