California Library Literacy Services (CLLS) is a program of the California State Library. Local libraries help adults learn to read using trained volunteer tutors.
California Library Literacy Services (CLLS) is a program of the California State Library. California has approximately 3.4 million adults with below basic literacy skills. More than 100 California public libraries serve over 20,000 adult learners annually in over 800 library branches and other outlets statewide. More than 12,000 trained volunteers work one-on-one with adult learners helping them to achieve their literacy goals. As a result, these adults are voting for the first time, reading newspapers, reading aloud to their children, and securing jobs.
The mission of California Library Literacy Services is to enable Californians of all ages to reach their literacy goals and use library services effectively.
