We are all driven by a mission to change the world. I've long since believed that the school library was part of mine, since they are the hub of all school activity.

This requires a different mindset of how to create spaces that meet these needs. To assist with this process, I have created an overview video to help you. Let's have some fun! What are others ways you create a more learner-driven library space? Please post below! I'm excited to host a webinar about learner-driven libraries in a few minutes.

Let's have a chat about it! I had the pleasure of redesigning the library space for CB Jennings International Elementary Magnet School in New London, CT according to the transdisciplinary themes. Take a peek at my process in transforming this space into a dynamic learning center as part of Toddle TIES School Showcase. By the way, it was so much fun! |
