ABSTRACT

Picture this: You walk into a school and hear noise echoing down the hall. You can’t help but walk toward it and see that it is coming from the library. When you peek inside you see a space filled with activity, creativity, collaboration, learning, reading, and noise. There are groups of students gathered around the library at tables, on the floor, and even halfway out the door in the hallway. There are students creating in the makerspace and recording in a tiny green tent. There are teachers collaborating around a tall cafeteria table and coffee. Right outside the library, there are two classes Skyping with the author of the book they just read and have even invited several other schools around the world to join in.
