The document discusses how libraries and schools need to change and adapt to new technologies and learning styles in the 21st century. It notes that libraries are no longer just places to access books but rather collaborative environments. It suggests that libraries may have online services available 24/7, use social media and web tools, and have hybrid digital/physical collections. Schools will need to shift from teaching facts to teaching skills like problem solving. Libraries will need an "extreme makeover" to support social learning, evolving librarian roles, comfort, and access to resources in both physical and online spaces.
