The document discusses the concept of transliteracy and how it relates to libraries. It notes how stories have been adapted across different mediums over time, from written tales to film adaptations. Transliteracy involves skills across multiple literacies like digital, visual, print, and more. The document argues that libraries should embrace transliteracy by providing resources and programs that bring these various literacies together and allow patrons to create using different media. Libraries can play a key role in fostering transliteracy skills in their communities.

34. “ The concept of transliteracy calls for a change of perspective away from the battles over print versus digital, and a move instead towards a unifying ecology not just of media, but of all literacies relevant to reading, writing, interaction and culture, both past and present. --Sue Thomas flickr user theunquietlibrary
