About Us
The Desoto County Literacy Council was established in 1981 by the First Regional Library in collaboration with area citizen groups. The Literacy Council was established in an effort to provide literacy services to the residents of Desoto County and the surrounding areas.
The Literacy Council is committed to improving the lives of individuals by partnering with local agencies including: Mississippi Community and College Board, Northwest Mississippi Community College, United Way of the Mid-South, Dollar General Stores, First Regional Library, and the North Mississippi Literacy Alliance.
DCLC provides:
- GED/HiSet preparatory classes FREE for individuals 16 and older who need to obtain their High School Equivalency (Diploma). Through grants we are able to provide all materials necessary for the program. This also includes the cost of the tests.
- Work ready skills that will help you get a job
- Instruction on how to use a computer
