DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Public Library was chosen as one of ten programs in the United States to receive
a National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award. This program is jointly funded by the
President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, the
National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The
Santa Ana Public Library received this award in recognition of the TeenSpace's Circle of
Mentoring, a program dedicated to providing teens and young adults from Santa Ana direct
mentorship and tutoring, including cultural exposure and enrichment, community and civic
engagement, and opportunities for creative expression, from trained library staff members.
The TeenSpace program will use the $10,000 to help kick start a pilot program focusing on visual
arts through the medium of interactive gaming and e- sports. Funds will be used to purchase
high -end gaming equipment to engage youth in our projected 3D and Video game design
programs that we are hoping to launch in the upcoming year.
