Community Anchor Program (CAP)

CAP Helps You Connect

CAP works with state and regional research and education networks to help K-12 teachers, librarians, and other community anchor institutions collaborate, access subject matter experts at premier research institutions, and interact and partner with schools across the world.

The program helps you:

• Connect to national treasures like the Smithsonian, the American Museum of Natural History, and presidential libraries.
• Collaborate with other community anchor institutions like schools, libraries, and museums.
• Partner with schools around the world to learn about other cultures.
• Interact with presidential libraries and historic sites.
• Choose programs from a list of curated educational content to make the most of your powerful internet connection.
• Maximize your library’s connection for community education and benefit.
