Libraries as Community Hubs for Citizen Science Libraries are rapidly becoming community hubs for citizen science, a global movement that enables people from all walks of life to participate in real scientific research. Libraries help connect people, activities, and resources to fully engage in citizen science topics they are curious and concerned about. This page is for: Library staff interested in building or scaling citizen science in libraries or library systems.  Library users seeking to discover or bring citizen science to local libraries.  Project scientists interested in learning how to leverage local libraries to accelerate research with the public.  Community-based organizations seeking to partner with local libraries on citizen science efforts.  Find what you need, below!
