Congratulations to Peg Sullivan on the publication of Library Spaces for 21st-Century Learners: A Planning Guide for Creating New School Library Concepts. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Peg on several projects, and her thinking on library spaces and flexible use is powerful!
From the press release:
The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) added to its series of Learning4Life publications with the release of “Library Spaces for 21st-Century Learners: A Planning Guide for Creating New School Library Concepts.” Written by Margaret (Peg) Sullivan, the book focuses on planning contemporary school library spaces with user-based design strategies. The publication is available in both print and e-book formats, as well as in a print/e-book bundle, and can be purchased through the ALA online store.
“Library Spaces for 21st-Century Learners” walks school librarians and administrators through the process of gathering information from students and other stakeholders involved in planning a resource rich learning space. Information includes how to create needs assessment documents that complement AASL’s “Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Programs.” Suggestions for adding meaningful aesthetic components and colorful renderings of sample environments are included.

“This is an essential addition to every school librarian’s list of ‘must have’ resources,” said Susan Ballard, AASL president. “Taking AASL’s learning guidelines into account, as well as bringing her own uniquely qualified perspective as a sought-after expert in facility design, Peg Sullivan has done an outstanding job on behalf of the association in addressing the critical elements that must be considered by school communities to plan and develop library spaces as flexible learning environments.”To celebrate the publication’s launch, AASL invites school library professionals to contribute to an album of school library concepts and share with others the learning space solutions and resource rich environments created in their libraries.
