4. Weeding and removing 1/3 of NF
shelving opened up needed space.
This long range was
remove.
5. In the presence of…
Sometimes the assets of the library are not the
main focus, they’re the backdrop.
Hosting inviting events in the presence of books
can send a subtle message to users.
Don’t assume that everyone is comfortable in
public learning spaces.
6. Flexible spaces produce unexpected
activities
• Lots of negotiation when you have more open
spaces – and that's OK.
• You want a balance between the open and the
private, big and small spaces.
• Concerns about open spaces and maker
spaces can echo/parallel the fears parents and
community have of online activities.

who has warmer feelings about the library

• Who’s on your “Yes, I’ll stand up for libraries!”
email list?

35. Headlines from the murky world of
ebooks

be used as primary sources for 5th grade social studies. My
district recently purchased a class set of Kindles, but did not
budget for content purchases.”
…”publisher policies continue to make many popular titles
unavailable.”
“85 percent of ebook borrowers said that they had used their
library to discover new writers or try out new genres.”
