The document discusses how library spaces are changing to incorporate more STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) resources and activities. It provides examples of new areas in libraries for activities like film making, coding, robotics, and virtual global collaboration. While the spaces are changing, some constants still apply, like libraries providing safe, accessible learning spaces for all. The document encourages libraries to consider student and community needs and interests when designing new spaces and programs.
