History The Newberry County Literacy Council, Inc. is a community-based organization whose origin can be traced back to 1969 when a number of individuals connected with Newberry College began training tutors to work with illiterate adults. The agency was formally incorporated on September 23, 1988 and received its 501 c(3) status on February 18, 1993. Throughout that time and continued onto today it has worked to improve literacy for adult learners in Newberry County, SC.
