Google Partners with Libraries to Bring Opportunity to Everyone, Everywhere

Libraries are at the heart of Google’s effort to bring skills to job seekers and online savvy to small businesses. Starting in January, the Grow with Google program will provide workshops, library staff training, and ongoing support to libraries in all 50 states. A $1 million sponsorship to the American Library Association will help libraries offer digital skills training. An initial group of 250 libraries will receive funding to support coding activities during Computer Science Education Week. Keep an eye out for a call for applications from the ALA as Grow with Google comes to South Carolina.
