The information problem for our capstone project focused on the creative work of Otherworld Media, a nonprofit educational group focused on encouraging reading and creativity in elementary aged children. Judith Walcutt, the creative director of the nonprofit, had created a radio play with the intent of touring and visiting public libraries to show children the wonder of reading and books. However, she needed resources that libraries could use to promote and use this radio play. We created an age-appropriate methodology using common core standards, and then created an annotated list of resources based on the content of the radio play.
