LB Reads
LB Reads is a 1-on-1 literacy tutoring program that helps adults improve their reading and writing skills so they can reach their potential as workers, family members, community members, and lifelong learners.
According to national and international surveys, approximately 1 in 6 adults in the United States have less than basic literacy skills. That estimate is even higher for Los Angeles County, with approximately 1 in 3 adults struggling with basic literacy skills.
Long Beach Public Library's LB Reads year-round adult literacy and ESL (English as a Second Language) programs connect community members with reading tutors to empower them to reach their goals.
