    Hi Rachel, I think you have an excellent plan. The choice of adding a soundproof wall is a good way to create both quiet and collaborative work zones. Have you considered using movable shelving to create even more spaces?

    Rachel - Like me, I see you've worked to make practical changes to the space, ones that don't require a complete redesign. Those moveable sound-proof dividers are a great idea. Are they reasonably priced? Would you ever want to open up the entire library? I'm wondering where you would "store" or place the sound-proof dividers?

    Hi Rachel, I would also like to know more about the soundproof partition, if you have found any purchase options.
    Thank you,

    Hi Rachel, I like your idea of sectioning your library into two. I don't remember seeing any specific work areas for the side with the carpet. I have visited a few libraries that were able to optimize carpet area during lessons by have sets of clipboards handy. I think lap desks would also work, but clipboards are the more economic option. Then students could be instructed on either side of the divide.

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.
