Orange County Library System

The Orange County Library System will create a multifaceted learning experience called Citizenship Inspired, which allows users seeking U.S. citizenship to take the required courses, making use of learning and communication methods that best suit their own situation and needs. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in one-on-one learning, learning in groups, live online learning, or self-paced online tutorial learning. Citizenship Inspired seeks to build a community of learners who will work through the series of classes together. The library will use social networking tools to support the continued collaboration of these communities outside of formal learning. The primary outcome is the successful naturalization of participants in its program. This project will provide a model for similar programs in other public libraries across the country.
