“As AI reshapes our economy, museums and libraries have a critical role to play in ensuring every American has access to AI literacy,” said Keith Sonderling, Deputy Secretary of Labor. “These grants will help institutions across the country, from small libraries in rural communities to large museums in major cities, build the foundational AI skills that Americans need to succeed in the AI era.
” "President Trump has made clear that American leadership in AI depends on ensuring every American has the opportunity to develop AI skills," said Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. "These IMLS grants are an important step in expanding AI education beyond traditional classrooms and into the community institutions that reach Americans in every corner of our country."

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
