EDUCATION & LIBRARIES
Our Mission: To foster education for children and adults. We demonstrate our appreciation for ongoing educational efforts by supporting vital library programs. Through projects promoting literacy, educational enrichment, and a love of learning, we educate our members and the wider community about the importance of investing in education—from our local neighborhoods to the world beyond.

Little Free Library: E&L committee members help manage the Little Free Library every Friday evening during the summer months at a booth inside the local Farmer’s Market, gathering and giving away gently used books for young and old to help keep reading skills honed over the summer and to help combat illiteracy.
Read Across America Week: Held during the first week of first week of March, this is an important event for E&L, reflecting our ongoing commitment to supporting local education. Our members contribute both financially and through volunteer hours, helping schools celebrate reading and the joy of books. This annual initiative coincides with Dr. Seuss's birthday and provides a fun and engaging way to promote literacy.

GFWC Partner – HOBY: Sharing a commitment to developing future leaders, the Lilburn Woman's Club supports the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) program by sponsoring local high school sophomores to attend their leadership conferences. HOBY's mission to inspire and develop a global community of youth aligns perfectly with the Lilburn Woman's Club's dedication to empowering young people in our community. These seminars provide invaluable opportunities for students to grow as leaders through experiences focused on service, innovation, and building connections with others.
