East Bay Learning Disabilities Association

Library

The San Lorenzo Branch of the Alameda County Library received a $5,000 grant from the California State Library to improve and expand its services to children and youth with learning disabilities, their parents and teachers. In collaboration with NCLDA,and other community partners, the library has expanded their collection of books, videos, and other materials to include resources about Learning Disabilities for parents, teachers, service providers, and children and adults with Learning Disabilities.

Each of these titles (books, videos, etc.) are at the San Lorenzo Branch, plus, of course, many other existing and new LD titles there and throughout our system.
