Literacy Mid-South

About Literacy Mid-South

The mission of Literacy Mid-South is to create a community actively engaged in continuous learning. Our organization serves all of the Mid-South, from adults to children. Literacy Mid-South improves the quality of life in our community through education by providing literacy programs for adults and children as well as a network of collaborative projects with some of the Mid-South's finest educational organizations. Our organization was formed to help people of all ages and backgrounds achieve the critical literacy skills they need to navigate the world. We are a group of passionate staff, volunteers, board, and community organizations dedicated to making the Mid-South a community actively engaged in continuous learning. Previously named the Memphis Literacy Council and Mid-South Reads, LMS has been working to increase the literacy of mid-southerners for over 40 years through group literacy classes, individual tutoring, and resourcing other non-profits.
