School libraries are in a state of transition. As more schools move to a one-to-one device program teachers and school librarians have quickly learned new ways to transform the learning experience to incorporate the new learning tools in the hands of students. School librarians have looked to new ways to support the curriculum and engage students in ways that allow for collaboration and hands-on experimentation. Makerspaces are answering the new needs that help students carry over the work they are doing in the classroom into the library.
Katrina Schwartz writes about the new makerspaces that have transformed school libraries and lessons for school librarians looking at how to encorporate some of these new technologies into their libraries: Launching a Makerspace: Lessons Learned from a Transformed School Library.
