Burbank Public Library has provided literacy services since 1992. Learners are matched with a volunteer for twice-a-week tutoring sessions if they qualify after an assessment, and to enroll, an interview is required during which an assessment to measure current reading abilities is given. Volunteer tutors must be 18 or older, and no experience is necessary. Burbank Public Library Literacy Services is a member of California Library Literacy Services and receives matching funds from the California State Library. One adult learner shared, “Everything you do is excellent. Please continue doing it. I had books, instruments, workbooks, and a tutor who always went above and beyond.”
