District Dispatch has posted a new item, ‘MacArthur, IMLS announce plans to
create 30 new learning labs'

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Institute of Museum
and Library Services (IMLS) today announced plans to create 30 new youth
learning labs in libraries and museums across the country. According to a
statement released by IMLS, the project was inspired by an innovative new teen
space at the Chicago Public Library called YOUmedia and innovations in science
and technology centers, these labs will help young people become makers and
creators of content, rather than just consumers of it. Read the IMLS
announcement at http://www.imls.gov/news/2010/091610.shtm.
