Everything You Need to Advocate for AWE Learning

A curated set of resources designed to help libraries clearly communicate the value, impact, and defensibility of AWE Learning workstations.

Libraries don’t purchase products. They invest in solutions that must be defensible to boards, municipalities, and communities.
The AWE Learning Champion Kit provides ready-to-use materials that help library staff explain why AWE Learning is a responsible, mission-aligned investment in early learning and youth engagement.

📌 All materials included in the Champion Kit are provided as downloadable PDFs. Each file can be downloaded directly from this page and saved for future reference or printing. The materials below are designed for internal sharing, budgeting discussions, and decision-maker review.

Whether you’re introducing AWE Learning for the first time or planning an upgrade or replacement, this kit helps you:

The one-page justification document provides a concise, formal explanation of how AWE Learning aligns with library missions, literacy initiatives, and community education goals. It addresses public benefit, risk reduction, and compliance considerations in a clear and structured format suitable for board packets and approval workflows.

This document is designed to stand on its own as an official justification for purchase or upgrade decisions.

This plain-language budget rationale explains why AWE Learning is a responsible use of library funds. It outlines how the platform delivers long-term value through predictable costs, minimizes staff time and operational overhead, and serves multiple age groups through a single solution.

The document is written for non-technical audiences and is particularly helpful for finance officers, administrators, and board members evaluating cost, longevity, and return on community impact.

These professionally written email templates are designed to help library staff introduce AWE Learning in internal discussions or formally recommend next steps to decision-makers. Each template is clearly structured to explain the purpose, value, and operational fit of AWE Learning without relying on marketing language.

One template is tailored for libraries considering AWE Learning for the first time, while a second template is designed for libraries replacing or upgrading older or out-of-warranty workstations. Both formats are suitable for sharing with directors, finance teams, and boards.

The email templates included in this kit are designed to be copied and pasted and then customized for your specific situation. They provide a clear, professional starting point that reflects common library priorities, but we encourage you to tailor the language to match your local goals, audience, and internal approval process. These templates are intended to support your internal conversations, not replace them.

Libraries across the country rely on AWE Learning to support safe, engaging, developmentally appropriate learning for children ages 2–12. This collection of peer examples and testimonials highlights how other libraries have successfully implemented AWE Learning to support youth services, early literacy, and family engagement.

These examples provide real-world context and reassurance for stakeholders who value proven adoption and shared experience among library peers.

Your AWE Learning representative is available to help you determine which materials best support your internal process, create a long-term budgeting plan, and map out how to maximize the value of your workstation over its lifetime. Representatives can also provide other peer examples, answer questions, or coordinate a brief demonstration if helpful.
