A Redesigned Library

 


My questions are:

1. Are there any other ways to design the library to allow for greater use by classes throughout the day?

2. Was anything unclear in the presentation that I can change?


Possible Library Names:

Our school's mascot is a lion as part of the RCG Pride. So I tried to think of original names that would fit with this. I thought the name, "The Den" would accurately fit with this theme and is a simple representation of the library being the gathering place of the school.

    Hi Rachel,
    I really liked your video, it was clear and concise. I like the idea of a virtual calendar/schedule. It makes it very transparent and would help you plan out your days. I have seen a few library schedules where they have open book exchange for a different grade each day. This means that multiple classes can come during a set time to check out books (without a lesson). That would free up the rest of the day for teaching and hosting classes in the library.

Updating the Plan

  You can access the previous Linoit board here. I chose three photos to add to my library re-design that demonstrate a potential for the space.  First, I chose a photo of a makerspace wall. I like this photo because it takes up minimal space and would be a concept I would use in my current school's library due to lack of available space. By having a makerspace wall, students could have the tools to engage with design thinking in the library. I received some feedback that a wall may make it hard for some students to reach the materials they need. I have updated my design with a rolling cart instead. You can view the updated linoit board at the end of this post. Second, I included a photo of moveable walls. I indicated where the walls may fit in my layout and walls would make the library space more flexible to accommodate two separate classes in the space at the same time. By freeing up some space, classroom teachers would have the option to bring their classes in to use the ma...

Iteration 2

  Here is my second iteration of my library learning commons model. In response to the feedback I received, I fixed up the grammar mistake in my "Creation" box, changed the background colour to a bolder choice and added in an updated logo.
