The selected libraries will ...

- collaborate with their communities to transform a space in their library to encourage more hands-on, participatory active learning.
- engage in online learning with the WebJunction team
During the first round of the project, 15 small public libraries serving rural or remote communities were chosen to participate. In addition to receiving funding support, participants attended webinars, received coaching from the WebJunction team, and were supported by fellow participants as they learned to transform cramped or underutilized spaces into vibrant, dynamic, active learning places. Take a look at the transformations from the first round of participants to see how they created smart spaces in their libraries.
