> In This Session
> Our student’s needs, interests, talents, and attentions continually evolve. School librarians are progressive and proactive, and adept at adapting to create new ways to connect to patrons and re-envision the facility to better facilitate changes in our patrons. Considering the new wave of participatory learners and the change in schools to more student-led learning, the impact on engaging patrons in school libraries is tremendous, making the library a destination.
> 
> One hot topic hitting public and school libraries is makerspaces where students (and sometimes staff and parents) create, problem solve, and develop thinking. Join school librarian Leslie Preddy for this webinar to learn what a makerspace in a library is and why it is needed for today’s learner. Leslie will field questions after her presentation during this interactive session. You will walk away energized and excited to get a makerspace, big or small, created in your own library!
