The Baltimore Elementary and Middle School Library Project (Library Project) is a multi-year, collaborative effort to build or transform Baltimore City Public School libraries in neighborhoods where many students face academic and economic challenges.

The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation has committed $15 million to this initiative, which includes more than 30 community and government partners. By 2024, the Library Project will serve nearly 9,000 students, as well as their families, through 19 new libraries (17 completed to date) and will have leveraged more than $30 million in additional federal, state, and local funds.
