Summary Explanation and Background:
Literacy for Adults in Brevard (LAB), which was established in 1971 took over the Brevard County Library System literacy program in 2007. The LAB is a not-for-profit 501 (C) (3) FEI 23-7153312. They offer free assistance to community members who need to “listen, talk, read, and write in English.” They tutor the majority of their clients in a public meeting room in one of the Brevard Libraries. The program is a natural fit with Library Services and there is minimal space required. The Library Administration and LAB President have identified a workspace that can be used for the LAB to coordinate volunteers, do office work and store materials. The LAB will be required to provide their own laptops and cellphones and can utilize the public Wi-Fi.
This agreement would be effective for an initial term of two (2) years from its date of execution with options for two (2) additional years, two (2) times on the contract anniversary after the initial two (2) year term.
