Building Public AI with Libraries

We believe [libraries] can shine as trusted providers of public AI: community-based AI services and infrastructure.

USA

The Library of Congress, Metagov, and Public Knowledge, in partnership with the Utah State Library and the New Jersey State Library, are launching a pilot program to bring community-based AI services to public libraries across the United States. We are inviting 6-8 libraries across the United States to join the pilot program in 2025-2026. The Public AI Libraries Project is a nonprofit project dedicated to democratizing access to AI tools and resources through libraries and other educational institutions. We are a small team of technologists and librarians who believe that AI should be accessible to everyone without requiring expensive subscriptions or specialized devices.
