The Glenn Seaborg Learning Consortium
Innovative Partnership and National Library Model

The new Lafayette Library and Learning Center will be home to the Glenn Seaborg Learning Consortium, a "first-ever" collaboration among 12 high-profile arts, education, and cultural organizations that turns our soon-to-be-built local library into a regional resource.

According to the Library School Journal, library planners consider the Lafayette Library and Learning Center a "national model" for libraries of the future.
