Library/Classroom Designs

Here's an interesting article and podcast on redefining the role of the Library space from Cult of Pedagogy: How this School Library Increased Student Use by 1000%.

They changed the layout of the library by having all the books along the wall, bought movable furniture, and increased the interactive technology. Every piece of furniture could be moved and rearranged to meet group collaboration needs. The library basically became an extension of the classrooms where students could work in groups to complete work. Instead of having a makerspace, the library was becoming more of a space for personalized learning.
