Funds raised at the Eighth Annual Toast will support Adult Literacy Services, a vital program of the Library that breaks the cycle of low literacy in our community through one-on-one tutoring, self-directed and online practice, and group classes. More than two million adults in L.A. County currently lack basic English skills. This essential Library program, the second largest library-based adult literacy program in the nation, transforms lives, strengthens family units, and builds a healthier community. Please help us to ensure that these services continue to be available to Angelenos across our city.
