Expanding Opportunities Program, Year 3

About This Grant

The Expanding Opportunities Program seeks to meet the needs of citizens looking to improve their lives in the areas of education, employability, and entrepreneurship; specifically by partnering with service providers and delivering information literacy workshops on resources available through the libraries. Year 1 of the program emphasized program setup and needs assessment. Year 2 is expanding offerings to meet the information literacy needs of the target audience. Year 3 will be about refining and replicating the program, and will include assessment of Year 3 partner needs, further development of the Library Ambassadors, development and delivery of four new presentations, exploration of new ideas for extending the reach of the library and mitigating the digital divide, and packaging of the program for replication.
