History
LCN is a non-profit,
non-religious-affiliated organization founded in 1984.
- 1984:
Katharine Dosch and Margaret Geary represented the First Presbyterian
Church of Norristown at a meeting of the Norristown Ministerium
that focused on literacy. This was the beginning of what would
become the Literacy Council of Norristown. aa
- March

Women's Volunteer Reading Aides program trained LCN's first tutors.
- 1986:
The LCN received its first grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
By this time, LCN had 67 tutors.

LCN was incorporated as a non-profit corporation run by a Board
of Directors.

LCN celebrates its 20th anniversary with a gathering of past and

Today:
- LCN has approximately
100 tutors per year, serving about 120 adult learners in our one-on-one
program.
- We offer
evening English as a second language classes.
- LCN provides
outreach to workers in the workplace. Our classes for workers
at King of Prussia Mall teach English literacy skills that workers
need to perform effectively.
- Our staff
and board speak at meetings of other community organizations and
corporate sponsors in an effort to spread the word about LCN's
work.
