Our mission at our non-profit is “Empowerment Through Literacy!”. We help children through adults learn to read, write comprehend what they are reading, obtain a high school diploma (GED) and English Second Language learners.
Reading is fun!!! Reading is essential! Reading helps you grow and understand the world around you.
To make sure my community read books that include diversity in them.
Glenwood Road LFL believes all readers deserve to see themselves reflected in books. We pledge to always include options that reflect diverse characters and topics that explore equity and inclusion. We welcome a range of books, and of course all readers to visit, share, take, and build community with us.
We are committed to making sure everyone who visits our community has an opportunity to see themselves in the pages of a book!
Reading belongs to everyone
I believe that all of us can decide for ourselves what books are appropriate. By reading many different viewpoints and topics, we learn to appreciate each person, whether the same as ourselves or different from ourselves.
This library is for everyone!
