    LA's Libraries as Hubs for Science

    The Los Angeles Public Library's Neighborhood Science program immerses learners in the science process. Across the Library's 73 sites, as well as online, children and teens use real data-collection tools to sample local air, soil, and water; and then are encouraged to share the data online with the global science community. Learners' findings help scientists around the world make more informed conclusions with a unique appreciation for and understanding of science surrounding issues like pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change.
