MHLS libraries are invited to apply! The CT State Library Division of Library Development (CTDLD) has been selected as a grant recipient of the Young Futures’ Oops!… AI Did It Again Challenge, its first dedicated funding initiative for nonprofits at the intersection of youth and AI. CTDLD is also recruiting libraries in and outside of CT to participate in this project.
What is it? GIANT Remix Stations: AI-Powered Creative Storytelling Program for Youth in New England Public Libraries. The Connecticut State Library in partnership with The GIANT Room will expand a defined set of supervised, pop-up “GIANT Remix Stations” in public libraries to provide hands-on AI literacy and creative storytelling experiences for young people ages 10-19 and their caregivers.
Participating libraries will receive librarian training, community co-design sessions, installation/operation of stations in libraries, creation/publication of youth artifacts (books/trading cards), and digital access to creations.
If you are interested in participating, please reach out to Dawn Lavalle at dawn.lavalle@ct.govor Suzanne Kiss at Suzanne.E.Kiss@ct.gov by Friday, May 1, 2026.
