#Maryland - #Library #Backpacks

"Thanks to support from the Nora Roberts Foundation, there are #NatureExplorer backpacks at all of the local libraries in the Eastern Panhandle, at some libraries nearby in Maryland, and at the nature center at #CacaponStatePark. They are available for checkout with your library card!

The packs provide families with all the tools they need to get their children outside exploring #nature. Each pack contains a variety of #books, #FieldGuides, supplies and #ActivityIdeas centered on different themes. Backpacks themes include #Birds, #Reptiles and #Amphibians, #BackyardHabitats, #Mammals, #Insects, and Winter."

#Chicago just improved the lives of 315,000 kids - by turning student IDs into instant library cards, giving them access to books, tutoring, and digital resources.

They already know this will work - thanks to a 2022 pilot program, they learned converting a student ID into a #library card led to an astonishing ** 63% ** increase in library access among economically disadvantaged students, and an ** 81% ** increase among English language learners.

Another brilliant part of the plan means by not requiring additional #documentation, access is possible for students most likely to fall through the cracks, such as unhoused children, foster children, and children of undocumented families.

HUGE win right there!! 🤩
