Library Land Project

Hello World, and Welcome to the Library Land Project! 

The Library Land Project is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to explore, document, and promote the essential role of public libraries in our communities.

Library Land started because we saw that people didn’t understand what libraries are all about, the services they provide, and the impact they have. Library Land is committed to providing a voice and platform to counter this narrative. Whether through our own content or from the library community, we will continue to promote the work of these critical resources.

Library Land supports the library community and encourages people to understand and support the special role public libraries play. Read stories about the libraries we’ve visited, hear what we’ve seen and learned, keep track of our travels on our map of Library Land, scan the latest news, learn about our services, find out more about our team and board, support our efforts, and like/follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

Since late 2018, the Library Land Project has visited more than 470 libraries in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia - as well as in Athens, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Oslo, Stockholm, Tangier, and Venice. Each of these visits has deepened our understanding and appreciation of public libraries.

We’d love to hear about your favorite library. You can also contact us at info@librarylandproject.org to share your thoughts.
