All,
Please see below article and for library cooperative directors, please feel free to share with your library directors. That said I suspect many "up north" libraries are already featuring the Every Kid Outdoors program

which started as an Obama era initiative called Every Kid in a Park. It was and is a great program, although it turned out to be a less than perfect fit for MAP when I tried to incorporate it into our program a bunch of years ago.
