Jillian Heise will share her story of evolving three different elementary libraries and the lessons learned in revamping the spaces to make them more kid-friendly and usable. Because walking into an elementary library that has stuffed shelves of spine out books is just not the most inviting environment for our youngest students. So how do we start making the shifts that will support students for successful discoverability for little (and bigger) hands? By considering what students & staff really need and adjusting how we display, shelve, label, sign, and organize individual books and sections in our libraries.
