City of Palo Alto (Palo Alto City Library)

The Palo Alto City Library will lead a collaborative partnership between itself, the Palo Alto Art Center, and the City of Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo to build capacity in developing and implementing virtual programming and events that meet the expressed needs of its community amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The "Onsite to Virtual: Expanding Access to Community Learning Resources" project will start with an in-depth staff training in digital content development with the Mid-Peninsula Media Center and result in the creation of a digital playbook of best practices for virtual programming that can be employed by museums and libraries across the country. The library and its partners will also increase its digital offerings by 25 percent.
