School libraries are no longer the quiet dusty rooms where students sit at heavy wooden tables and read silently. We’re using modern technology and teaching strategies – now we need to update our spaces to match. In this course, attendees will get ideas and inspiration for transforming the physical space of their libraries to make them innovative, student-friendly learning environments. Learn how to apply educational design theory to renovate your library no matter what your budget is. Learn strategies for changing up your space that you can apply immediately. More Information  

How the course works:

- Material for the upcoming week is posted each Monday.
- Registrants have until the following Monday to work through the material and complete assigned activities.
- Registrants successfully completing the course may request a Certificate of Completion.
