The document discusses the role of libraries in fostering participatory learning communities. It argues that libraries should be communally constructed sites that encourage participation and knowledge sharing through relatively low barriers to expression. Librarians can spark larger change by disrupting traditional education models and crafting learning experiences that support dialogic conversations and participation. Building relationships is key to growing a culture of participatory learning.

“…participatory teaching methods simply
will not work if they do not begin with a
deep bond between teacher and student.
Importantly, this bond must be built
through mutual respect, care, and an
ongoing effort to know and understand one
another.”
