In Feito Na Biblioteca, a project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, we will build mobile apps to connect the constituents of the library with open government data, resources, and services. The project uses the Caravan Studios participatory development methodology. This allows the community to frame critical design questions, posit responses, select from among the responses, and then choose the best path to supporting a sustainable technology solution. This update was provided for a meeting organized by TASCHA at the University of Washington called "Libraries as a Platform for Civic Engagement." This presentation is in English
