not connected strongly to learning.

So Why Bother?Research indicates that strong library
programs:
support student literacy and school-wide literacy initiatives
positively impact student learning and achievement
encourage and support self-initiated inquiry.

Transforming LibrariesGlobally, progressive libraries are
moving toward the learning commons concept of flexibility, so activities and spaces in the library and on the library’s web site are flexible in design to accommodate a variety of learning activities; e.g., collaborative community space, a coffee house concept.

How is This Good for Kids?
A school library learning commons supports ongoing critical thinking, inquiry, action research, interdisciplinary learning and brain-based learning.
A learning commons becomes a place of active learning in real-time or online with project, problem-based, experiential, and cooperative learning that is ideally coordinated by a teacher-librarian.
