Digital and Print
School library systems throughout the country are coordinating with their public library systems to expand access to digital and print resources for all students. We can learn from these models.
Collaborative workspaces
No more “shushing.” Today’s students need to learn to work together. Furniture moves to encourage teamwork.
Makerspaces
Today’s students are tomorrow’s entrepreneurs. Makerspaces encourage design thinking and real-world problem solving.
Community hubs
Libraries are social spaces where students enjoy:
- Author visits
- Book clubs and other clubs
- Student government
Bad libraries build collections. Good libraries build services. Great libraries build community.
