Libraries Count

We are THRILLED to announce a new grant-funded project, Libraries Count.  

​Our work will support library staff in their work with families and children around early math.

A Team Effort

Our 10-state, interdisciplinary Libraries Count team, with funding from IMLS, will co-develop, evaluate, and roll out a FREE professional learning program through Webjunction, focused on math programming for young children and their families across diverse contexts. ​

The 3-year applied research project is led by Dr. Alissa Lange (PI), Director of EC STEM Lab and the Center of Excellence in STEM Education at ETSU, and Dr. Bharat Mehra (Co-PI), faculty in the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alabama.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services RE-252310-OLS-22.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's libraries and museums. We advance, support, and empower America's museums, libraries, and related organizations through grantmaking, research, and policy development. IMLS envisions a nation where individuals and communities have access to museums and libraries to learn from and be inspired by the trusted information, ideas, and stories they contain about our diverse natural and cultural heritage.
