Small Libraries Create Smart Spaces Curriculum Outline
The Small Libraries Create Smart Spaces project is guiding the transformation of 15 small/rural libraries to create active learning spaces, using a blend of live-online sessions and an online learning community.
Beginning with an introduction to the big picture concepts and practical examples of active learning and space transformation in small libraries, the program then guides participants through the project phases of community discovery, rethinking physical space, design thinking approaches to ideation and prototyping, and action planning. Throughout the orientation, subject matter experts and experienced practitioners are engaged to inform, mentor and spark confidence.
