The authors of this paper present context and case studies to illuminate several current policies, recommendations, and practices from the United States and Europe in support of libraries seeking to engage with citizen science, with the goal of encouraging librarians in Europe to leverage existing citizen science resources and take inspiration from successful international examples to make their libraries hubs for citizen science.
