Community Film will be shown on December 4th at 5:30pm in the auditorium of the Columbus Public Library. This event is leading up to the 35th organizational anniversary!

We are proud to host a showing of SENTENCED, produced and narrated by 4x NBA champion, Stephen Curry. SENTENCED is a world-class documentary about the growing crisis of illiteracy in America that ends with hope. Together with the creator’s of SENTENCED, we are hosting a local showing of the film to both learn about the literacy crisis from a national and local perspective and to inspire our community to fight for literacy for all.

Literacy Alliance empowers Columbus's underserved youth and adults through educational programs and literacy resources. We strive to improve literacy rates and empower community members through education, community events, and literacy support. During the month of March, affectionately known as Let’s Read Muscogee month, we raise awareness about early literacy and family literacy.

Literacy Alliance has served the Chattahoochee Valley, specifically Columbus, GA, since 1991. In 2000, Columbus became Georgia’s first Certified Literate Community. With this designation, Literacy Alliance continued to meet the educational needs of under-educated and illiterate adults in the community. In 2001, the program expanded its focus to include K-12 literacy programming and parent education.
