Learning in Libraries

Responding to fiscal need and great strategic opportunity, Wallace is providing multi-year grants to New York City's three library systems, and a complementary grant to the Urban Libraries Council, to elevate the role of libraries as learning places during non-school hours, enhance their ability to support the new citywide school curriculum, increase coordination among the three systems, and capture and disseminate the lessons so that many other urban library systems can benefit.  Grants will enhance learning and enrichment activities provided to youth year-round and strengthen core institutional functions.
