Los Angeles County, CA<\/strong> \u2013 LA County Library is excited to introduce the new Summer Stars tutoring program, which offers free in-person tutoring for students in grades 1-6. Developed in response to requests from parents, this initiative aims to provide extra support in reading and math to help young learners excel.<\/p>\n

“We believe in the potential of every child, and our Summer Stars tutoring program is designed to help students shine brighter academically,” said LA County Library Director Skye Patrick. “By offering live, free in-person tutoring with credentialed tutors, we aim to support children as they build essential skills for success.”<\/p>\n

Summer Stars is funded by the American Rescue Plan and Assemblymember Lisa Calderon, District 56, who shared, \u201cLibraries are foundational to the social and cultural development of our children, especially those in vulnerable communities where broadband access is limited. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many students fell behind, which continues to severely impact their education. However, because of the Summer Stars tutoring program, students will become better equipped with the tools to excel in their learning.\u201d<\/p>\n
