However, even with online research databases and cloud computing, most school libraries still occupy a fixed physical space in the school, a destination for students and teachers when they need help with reading or research. Change is inevitable, especially in 21st-century education; we are teaching students to prepare for jobs not yet created (Fisch 2007). Several years ago, it was easy for Ellen Lawrence to see the writing on the wall, predicting change when her district's leadership team discussed the possibility of one-to-one computing. Clearly, it was imperative that the school library program be viewed as an essential piece of the curricular puzzle and not just a service provider for students. This article describes creative ways she found to reach out to the greater school community to convince them that the school library can be an important tool that supports learning no matter what the location. |
