The talk program which came out of Ypsilanti Public Library,
which is text and learn kindergarten and it's a a tax
program that would automatically go to parents about learning
things and it was funded and that's beautiful, but it grew at
the end of that.
The Midwest Collaborative for Library Services said, hey, do
you mind if we get involved in this and try to start trying to
do something else with it?
And MCLS is involved in Michigan and Indiana.
So now Indiana is doing talk stuff in Michigan.
Now other states are contacting and saying, hey, what would it
take to bring talk to Arizona or Florida or wherever it may be?
And I think that's exactly the story we need to tell about how
federal funds going to libraries should and can work, is.
It starts as a Colonel, you know, a small seed, and grows
into this giant tree.
