Yesterday, I was moved by Sarah Houghton-Jan’s post in which she asked, “What makes a library a library?” I am in the process of collecting responses from librarians near and far, but I also felt it was important to throw this question out to my teens and hear their thoughts. In this first volume of responses, I found it fascinating these eleven students primarily focused on relationships, experiences, atmosphere, and library as place. I will be collecting additional responses tomorrow and sharing those via video as well.
I’m also working on pulling together the responses from my adults peers near and far; I’m looking forward to seeing how their responses may either mirror and/or differ from the teens’ responses!
