This document discusses the evolving role of school librarians and libraries. It argues that libraries should focus on supporting tomorrow's learners, not just maintaining the status quo. Librarians are encouraged to embrace new roles like instructional partners, innovators, and global learning leaders. They should help students create projects, redesign library spaces as learning labs, and support trends like passion-driven learning. The goal is to make the library central to the school's strategy and help it reach its educational goals through collaboration.
