This session considers the probable future learning needs of students and teachers and how this could be represented in a school. If schools change, then how will school libraries change? Or how should school libraries change for the possible future? Do school libraries need to change? These questions will be part of the discussion leading to some suggestions for the future of teacher librarians and school libraries.
