This collaboration between the Franklin Institute and the Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation identifies the role of crucial intermediaries in the science learning of children and points to the opportunities offered through a museum and library partnership to provide engaging science resources in under-resourced communities where many adults lack science expertise and confidence. Through an emphasis on literacy and science, LEAP into Science builds the capacity of after school leaders, teens and parents to be competent science learners and facilitators and to connect science centers, parents and libraries in support of the science learning and achievement of children. Project features include a workshop model for families with K-4 children, enrichment sessions for after school students, family events at the museum, professional development for library and after school youth staff, and a national expansion conference. The conference introduces the project to potential national implementation sites. Case studies of sites from this conference inform a research study investigating the obstacles, modifications and necessary support to initiate and sustain the program model. The formative and summative evaluation measure the impact of this program on children, parents, librarians, and teen workers at the libraries. Fifty-three Philadelphia libraries in addition to libraries in three cities selected from the implementation conference have a direct program impact on 10,000 people nationally, including 300 after school facilitators and children's librarians.

富兰克林研究所和费城基金会免费图书馆之间的合作确定了儿童科学学习中关键中介机构的作用，并指出了通过博物馆和图书馆合作伙伴关系提供的机会，以在资源不足的社区提供引人入胜的科学资源，许多成年人缺乏科学专业知识和信心。通过强调扫盲和科学，LEAP into Science建立了课后领导者，青少年和家长的能力，使其成为合格的科学学习者和促进者，并将科学中心，家长和图书馆联系起来，以支持儿童的科学学习和成就。项目的特点包括为K-4儿童家庭举办的讲习班模式，课后学生的充实课程，博物馆的家庭活动，图书馆和课后青年工作人员的专业发展，以及全国扩大会议。会议向潜在的国家执行地点介绍该项目。从这次会议的网站的案例研究通知研究调查的障碍，修改和必要的支持，以启动和维持程序模型。形成性和总结性评估衡量该计划对儿童，家长，图书馆员和图书馆青少年工作者的影响。 除了从实施会议中选出的三个城市的图书馆外，费城的53个图书馆对全国10，000人产生了直接的计划影响，其中包括300名课后辅导员和儿童图书馆员。
