    The SIL 20 for 2.0 Team wishes to thank Helene Blowers of the Public Libraries of Charlotte Mecklenberg County for developing the original Learning 2.0 program and sharing this program with the library community worldwide. Our program was built upon not only the PLCMC program but those of King County Library System, Skokie Public Library, as well. Without the help of these libraries, we would have no program.
