The Libraries of Eastern Oregon consortium, in partnership with the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and other partners, will deliver programs in science and art to 30 disadvantaged rural communities, including three Native American reservations. The public libraries will host onsite programs, interactive distance learning, and hands-on activities for lifelong learning and community enrichment. The Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Oregon Council for the Humanities will contribute programming in the arts. The involvement of major museums with a local team will provide a model for designing lifelong learning opportunities for rural and economically disadvantaged areas.
