The 91´«Ã½ Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services is seeking proposals for its Library as Literacy Centers initiative, a multi-year project aimed at transforming libraries into key literacy hubs. This initiative will create actionable guidelines and templates to enhance library engagement with adult, family, and community literacy services. It involves assessing national literacy needs, providing funding to support literacy centers in eight key libraries, and sharing lessons learned to boost library-based literacy efforts. The selected consultant will collaborate with 91´«Ã½ to identify regions with high literacy needs, establish grant-supported partnerships, and evaluate the initiative's impact. Proposals are due by September 16, 2024.
