Literacy Clearinghouse
Welcome
The Oklahoma Literacy Clearinghouse is a statewide hub for literacy resources, programs, and services. Established in 1991, the Clearinghouse compiles and maintains a comprehensive directory of literacy programs across Oklahoma, organized alphabetically and by county.
Our mission is to connect communities, agencies, and individuals with information, support, and opportunities to strengthen literacy across the state. We rely on the joint efforts of public and private partners—and especially the dedication of literacy volunteers—who make this work possible.
We hope this directory serves as a valuable tool in your efforts to promote literacy throughout the state. Together, we can keep Oklahoma’s literacy resources current and accessible.

On May 2, 1989, the Oklahoma Literacy Initiatives Commission (OLIC) was created by Senate Bill 420, Title 70, Section 8001. In its report to Governor David Walters and the 43rd Legislature, the OLIC recommended establishing a Clearinghouse for Literacy at Northeastern State University (NSU), Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Literacy Clearinghouse was funded by the 43rd Legislature and officially established in August 1991. In 2000, the Legislature passed House Bill 2117, signed into law by the Governor. This Act mandated the creation of a clearinghouse for exchanging information and sharing ideas about successful literacy programs and funding opportunities, located at the Center for Study of Literacy at NSU.
The directory exists through the joint efforts of public and private partners. The Oklahoma Literacy Clearinghouse staff thanks the many state agencies and individuals who contributed, including:
- Oklahoma State Department of Libraries – for furnishing preliminary research.
- Oklahoma Literacy Coalition – for providing its directories.
- Literacy Resource Office, Oklahoma Department of Libraries – for cooperating on the directory and other projects.
- Oklahoma State Department of Education, Lifelong Learning Section – for supporting Work-based Education, Adult Learning Differences, and Family Literacy projects.
- State Superintendent’s Task Force on Adult Learning Disabilities – for identifying resources listed in the appendix.
A special thanks goes to the literacy volunteers who generously give their time to improve literacy across Oklahoma.
