Our Vision
By promoting a literacy rich environment that reaches a diverse community of all ages and backgrounds, we strive to be the leader in literacy education in Eagle County. Through adaptable programs and collaboration with schools, businesses, partners, volunteers and donors we commit to serving everyone in our community that wants or needs help acquiring literacy skills. We seek to improve graduation rates, increase test scores, decrease poverty and ensure that there are books in the hands of every child in our county.
We strive to foster a life-long love of reading, for it is the gateway to learning and achieving the hope for a brighter future. We provide safe, welcoming environments that equip learners to dream, believe and soar so that they have endless opportunity to live fuller, more enriched lives.
To give hope to Eagle Valley community members of all ages by offering free assistance in acquiring the English literacy skills they need to function more effectively in their daily lives.
