The Langley Literacy Network is committed to building on community strengths to encourage lifelong learning by ensuring that residents of all ages have access to sufficient and appropriate information, services, and support to meet their literacy needs.
Our community literacy table is made up of literacy stakeholders and partners in Langley, and together we work towards creating literacy opportunities for Langley.
We offer programs such as Reading Buddies, Wrap-a-Read, Community One-on-One Learning, Conversation Circles and more to help children, families and adults improve their literacy skills. Connect with us today to access literacy programs or to learn how you can support literacy in your community.
The Langley Literacy Association is a non-profit organization founded in 2001 by interested community people to focus on enhancing literacy throughout our community.
2010 Literacy Now invited all B.C. communities to develop and submit a community literacy plan that would assess literacy programs and resources in each community, to identify assets as well as gaps and challenges and create a community plan that would support and promote literacy in that community.
The Langley Literacy Association took on that challenge hosting a community launch and planning meeting in March of 2005. This process resulted in the formation of the Langley Literacy Now Task Force – a broad-based group representing Langley social service providers, the Fraser Valley Regional library, Kwantlen University College, Langley School District, the Aboriginal community and the faith community. Planning funds to continue the process were received in July 2005.
The Task Force met for the next 2 years, and through extensive community consultation developed the Langley community literacy plan called “Literacy for the 21st Century: A Plan for Langley”. The plan was approved by 2010 Literacy Now in 2008.
The Langley Community Literacy Plan was presented to and endorsed by the community at the first Langley Literacy Summit in February of 2008. The summit resulted in the formation of the Langley Community Literacy Steering Committee whose task it is to oversee the implementation of the plan.
