Palm Harbor Literacy Council

Mission Statement

The Palm Harbor Literacy Council is an all volunteer outreach program of the Palm Harbor Friends of the Library. We serve adults who read below eighth grade level or for whom English is a second language. It is our belief that we can make a difference by improving an adult’s ability to read, write, and speak English through one-on-one tutoring.

We are an affiliate of Pro Literacy America (Pro Lit). All tutors are trained and certified in compliance with Pro Lit requirements. Pro Lit has been teaching adults to read and write for more than 60 years. It is the world’s largest literacy organization.

Our services are free to all. No tax money is used for the Literacy program. The Friends is a non-profit organization that serves the Library in many significant ways and they subsidize the cost of providing our service. Please patronize the Book Nook. The proceeds benefit the Library in many important ways.
