| Abstract | abstract | text | Project abstract. | Come to the Library extends programs, collections and services of the St. Helens Public Library to unserved families in the St. Helens School District. The Library will heavily subsidize family library card costs for the unserved, and send youth services staff to reach out to all children in the school district to encourage use of the library via afterschool programs, and off-site summer reading activities. Working with the school districts, Seaside and Astoria Public Libraries will offer public library cards to all Clatsop County children regardless of residence location. Staff will visit schools and work with the school district to issue children a library card at the public library of their choice for one full year. The libraries will share materials via interlibrary loan and hire a consultant to look for future avenues of cooperation to strengthen service. Create an innovative and culturally responsive STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Learning Lab to engage Cornelius youth in free and fun activities that promote the development of math and science skills needed for academic success. This project will digitize, preserve, and provide centralized online access to 900 oral histories owned by a dozen different cultural institutions in Washington County. These histories record unique memories of immigration, changing patterns of land use, economic transitions, war and politics. The project will also demonstrate how a large audio-visual collection in analog format can be digitized and preserved at a reasonable cost and in a sustainable manner. Washington County has many cultural organizations which are collecting or housing materials about the county's history. Use of these unique and valuable materials is limited due to the lack of easy accessibility to the dispersed and often fragile physical collections. Washington County Museum and Pacific University Library, in collaboration with libraries and historical societies throughout the county, propose to build a unified digital collection of historical images related to this region, to be called the Washington County Digital Library (WCDL). The first year objectives are to establish the administrative structure for a sustainable project, build the technical, digital, and metadata infrastructure for WCDL, access collections and develop criteria for digitization and digitize a core collection of 6000 images and build partner capacity through training on standard practices. This project will greatly increase public access to the visual history of Washington County. view top 100 |
