"LEO's mission goes far beyond supporting libraries - it is to provide expanded horizons for individuals in our region. More than making the libraries themselves relevant, LEO's work reminds our citizens that education, entertainment and communal gathering are vital to livability in all communities."

~ Jo Cowling, former Board Chair

LEO's vision paper was ranked as the state's sixth most important sustainability project by former Gov. John Kitzhaber under the Oregon Solutions program. "Lighting Up The Libraries" called for rural libraries to step up to meet information and technology needs for the 21st century.

Components of the STARS program - Science Technology and Rural Students - launched by LEO and OMSI were incorporated into official NASA education policy in 2006.

LEO is a founding member of the Nonprofit Association of Oregon (NAO) - one of only a few initial founders from east of the Cascades.

In 2007, OMSI received the prestigious Leading Edge Award from the International Association of Science & Technology Centers and the National Leadership Award from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services - both based in large part on OMSI's innovative partnership with LEO.
