This report calls upon communities to engage libraries and museums as a key partner in comprehensive early learning strategies to grow young minds. It highlights the exciting work these institutions are doing around the country in partnership with communities to shape children's outcomes in school and in life. We need to do more, especially for those low-income children who need more. If we can strengthen the country's network of museums and libraries to be a greater force for early learning, effective learning opportunities for all children can deepen and grow. (author abstract)
