and acts as the school`s informative, educationel and
innovative learning centre.
• SL supports the purposes of the public school and
contributes to realising the school`s core values,
academic learning targets and other focus areas.
• Together with the teachers and management, the SL
contributes to laying the ground work for teaching,
learning and development.

The school is challenged by the development in society and media.
The school has focused on certain media and genres and on certain
technologies and less on how these things together fundamental
changes our ways of communication, of sharing knowledge and how
we learn.
The school library must in general be looked upon as a physical and
virtual room, where there is focus upon the connection between
culture, media and learning.

The way, that we arrange and organize rooms,
has great impact on how we handle, think and
learn, when we are staying in the rooms.
Unnoticeable the arrangement of the room is
guiding the gathering in certain directions and
has great impact of the choices and values, that
are made

Man has for centuries carved everything up in right angels and our
thinking has decoded the world through “squared glasses”.
We have categorized, classified and put things into boxes.
We build and organize everything in squares, that are placed right-
angled to each other.
The square is solid stocked in our subconscious mind.
