#85: The Revolution in Public Libraries

Do you have a library card? If so, when was the last time you used it? There are amazing changes taking place in public libraries, and they help students preparing for the world of work. Evan and Todd talk with Oli Sanidas, Director for Digital and Library Material Services, Arapahoe Library District, Colorado. He was named a 2015 Mover and Shaker for Education by the Library Journal. Oli describes how libraries provide rich environments to explore, fail, create, and learn. He develops creativity through maker spaces with 3D printing and laser cutters and audio, and video editing. Library patrons learn about the latest technologies and how to apply them. Does that sound like the library you remember?
