Welcome, Ann Arbor District Library, our latest member!

We are excited to announce our first library member, Ann Arbor District Library.

"AADL's breakthrough Summer Game needed a mapping solution that was easy to develop for and didn't tie library patrons to unknown data uses... This is an organization deeply committed to open solutions, so we're happy to join OSM US and help keep maps open and free for privacy-oriented use cases."

~Rich Retyi, AADL Communications & Marketing Manager

OSM US membership is meaningful at all levels. Discover how your organization can get involved.
