Upshur County Literacy Program The mission of this organization is to promote literacy by providing quality educational services free of charge to meet the needs of the community.

We are open M-W 8:00-11:30 and 1:00-4:30. The Upshur County Library Literacy Program began in 1988 with a Federal Library grant submitted by Sue Williams. We operate solely on funds we receive through grants and corporate and individual donations. We are pleased and proud to carry on the work begun by the late Sue Williams, founder, and director. She continued this work until she passed away in 2011 and is sorely missed. The UCLP was selected as one of twenty projects worldwide to appear in a special display of Community Concerns at the International Rotary Conference in Nice, France in 1994. In 1995, the UCLP was the award recipient of the Project of the Year by the Northeast Texas Library System.

💛 A LITTLE REMINDER FOR YOUR WEDNESDAY

You are never too old to learn something new.

You are never too far behind.

And asking for help is NOT something to be embarrassed about.

📚 Every new word you learn is progress.
✏️ Every page you read is progress.
💪 Every time you practice is progress.

Keep going. We believe in you! 🐝
