Family Literacy

Literacy Volunteers of America-Huntington Valley (LVA-HV) has been helping adults in the community develop basic literacy skills since 1984. LVA-HV is based at the Huntington Beach Central Library.

The Family Literacy Program based at Oak View Branch Library is a vital part of LVA-HV's literacy efforts in the Community. The Family Literacy Program offers tutoring for parents and special family storytimes to help young children develop a love of reading before they enter school. Trained volunteers meet with parents to help them develop English Literacy and help them learn to read with their children in English.

The Family Literacy Program offers Tutor Training Workshops three times each year to prepare volunteers to tutor adults. We invite you to help adults gain English skills. Tutors work one on one or in small groups with parents who are learning to read, write and speak English. Tutors volunteer once a week for 1-2 hours. Training will be provided. For more information, contact Amy Crepeau at (714) 375-5104

Library Facts

Oak View Branch Library is the newest branch library opened in the City of Huntington Beach. It opened its door on June 3rd, 1995. At the beginning, the Branch was only open 20 hours per week. In October 1995, its hours were increased to 30 hours per week to be able to provide more services to the community. Starting October 2001, Oak View Branch Library opens 44 hours per week.

Oak View Branch started its collection with less than 5,000 books (children and adults). Most of the books and equipment we started with were donated. By the end of 1996, the collection had increased to 7,700 items. Currently our book collection has 22,000 items. Approximately 10% of the total collection is in Spanish language. The collection includes children and adult's books, magazines, newspapers and children's books on tape.

Oak View Branch Library offers a variety of services and programs. Most of them are provided free of charge.
