Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library

The Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library will expand and strengthen its Teaching Vonnegut teacher training workshop. Established in 2011 at the request of local teachers, the free workshop educates participants about how to teach Vonnegut's works effectively, and has served 75 teachers, reaching more than 10,000 students in 16 states. IMLS funding will allow the museum to improve its online education resources, recruit teachers from more low-performing schools, and double the number of participants in its annual workshop. Through these online resources, the museum will reach more than 5,000 additional teachers and students by 2020.
