[Libs-Or] Curry Public Library Receives 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant

[Jennifer Maurer]

Congratulations to Jeremy Skinner and staff at Curry Public Library (CPL). They are one of the 2018-2023 recipients of the 21st Century Community Learning Center grant<https://www.oregon.gov/ode/schools-and-districts/grants/ESEA/21stCCLC/Pages/Grants-Guidance.aspx> from ODE. The grant supports "the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools." CPL will receive about $250,000 per year for 3 years and then 75% of that in years 4 and 5.

Library staff will run an after school program for middle schoolers 3 days a week in the new CPL learning center and 2 days a week at the local middle school. During the 3 days at the library, the students will be divided into groups of 3. Each group will rotate between structured tech lab time, tutor/mentor/study time, and an enrichment time. The enrichment time will be different depending on the day of the week, but will include a range of activities led by community partners including health/wellness, art, science/nature, personal finance, etc. The grant allows the library to provide snacks, transportation, and dedicated paid staff to run the program.

They might be the first public library to be a direct recipient of 21st Century Community Learning Center grant funds.

Here's to a successful program!
