The American Conversation Project
As America marks 250 years, libraries across the country are opening their doors to a new kind of conversation. This summer as part of the American Conversation Project (ACP), neighbors are gathering in small groups to share what’s on their minds about where they live and what they hope for their communities and country.
Listen in to a medley from a conversation at Skokie Public Library in Illinois.
154 libraries from 42 states are part of this effort. As conversations come in throughout summer 2026, a national map will fill with voices from libraries across the country. Explore the map and hear what’s coming in from rural, urban, and suburban communities
