Hi Patty,

Clarkston Independence District Library was awarded the Google: Libraries Ready to Code grant in 2017 (the first library in Michigan!). Our Teen Librarian and IT Department worked hard developing several coding programs for middle and high school students. A great opportunity!

Hi everyone,

ALA and Google announced that they are collaborating on the Libraries Ready to Code initiative. I wanted to share this information with you because we’ve had great success with Grow with Google. Lansing was fortunate enough to be selected as a Grow with Google city in 2018. When they came here, CADL was one of the partnering organizations they worked with to bring digital skills training to students, teacher and business owners. We’ve used their curriculum and training plans for classes and have had great success.

If you have any questions about our experience with Grow with Google, feel free to reach out to me.
