The Maryland Adult Literacy Resource Center (ALRC) is located in the heart of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). It is also a focus of The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) to ensure that our services are accessible to all Maryland residents, all MSDE programs, and the community surrounding us, in all aspects of Adult Education and Literacy.

The Center's mission is to collect and disseminate information, resources and data about literacy to adult literacy providers and support groups throughout the state. The Center's lending library contains a collection of materials covering ABE, Computer-Assisted Instruction, Correctional Education, Employability Skills, Family Literacy, GED, Homeless Literacy, Learning Disabled Adults, Life Skills, Math, Pre-GED, Reading, School-to-Work, and Workplace Literacy. With close cooperation with the Resource Center for Language Literacy and Culture, we have access to all their library materials, including ESL/ TESOL references.
