MISSION

Through NIBIRU, our interactive online communication and informational resource, the Southside 2.0 professional library team will help build the infrastructure needed to serve young adults (ages 15-24) as they consider their choices for higher education and /or employment. Our online service brings ideas, resources, people, and institutions together, to help guarantee success for our young people as they transition into adulthood. It exists to effectively bridge young people across communities. Young adults begin to realize that they can be important resources for one another, help each other feel confident about making decisions, and build an important support network together.
