Osage County Interlocal Co-Op

Osage County Interlocal Cooperative proposes to transform the Hominy Public School Library into an inquiry-based learning and resource hub to prepare students for the future. Library media specialists will participate in professional development opportunities on inquiry-based methods and collaborate with classroom teachers, counselors, and administrators to identify open educational resources, develop cross-curricular lessons, and identify courses for credit to meet the academic needs of every student. The library will increase access and use of information by purchasing new digital equipment to replace outdated computers, extending library hours before and after school and during the summer, making computers and hotspots available for students to check out, and hosting family literacy nights. The library will also create collaborative space with new furnishings and space layout.
