handheld digital devices to
access the Internet; physically
freed from the need to be at the
library
Online - available for free or to
be purchased by individuals or
libraries: library copies
accessed with member-only
intranet services

15. Future Ready Library - Make it Happen!
Decentralization of some library resources. (Classroom-based mini libraries)
Develop casual reading spaces in the library so that they are inviting and comfortable.
Call for two teachers to volunteer to use the library instead of their classrooms to team-teach
Distribute library resources throughout the school - particularly in commons areas so that reading
can happen anytime, anywhere.
Redesign your library interior to incorporate a multimedia recording studio.
