Museums
and Libraries Engaging America's Youth
IMLS's Youth Initiative is grounded in our mission
to create and sustain a Nation of Learners. We know that IMLS
spends millions of dollars every year to support youth development
programs in communities across the nation. This initiative shines
a spotlight on the role libraries and museums play in bringing
about positive change in the lives of young people. These new
tools will help libraries and museums do it better.
