[CASL-L] library visits

[Sandi Harss]

Hi Deborah,

Our middle school library media center became a more agile learning space
this year...

Vigorously weeding Reference and moving four smaller stacks into one large
one freed up space for 3 new collaboration stations...a photo is
attached...collaboration stations are designed so that other devices cab be
used simultaneously...e.g. iPads, iPhone, Chromebooks, etc. thus enabling
collaborative work...
Here's a link with a little info...

Here also is an article with broad application, not only with regard to
library space but all learning space, that you may find helpful...

Best wishes on your new venture!
