Rural Library Network

The Rural Library Network is a cradle-to-career initiative that provides participants the opportunity to grow knowledge via online webinars and training in core principles of place-based work. It also offers a forum to grow relationships and connect with practitioners working in libraries across America’s rural communities. Membership in the network is free.

Join us on our journey to accelerate educational outcomes for all rural students

Our goal is that by 2030, an additional 1 million children and youth are on a path to upward mobility.
