The impact that Literacy 2.0 will have on our students, librarians and the library program.

IMPACT + IMPLICATIONS

Imagine for a moment.

Imagine being a student who has stepped into a library that has large worktables, organized carts full of cooking utensils and sewing kits, expansive shelves lined with exciting literature, and cabinets filled to the brim with exciting tools. Imagine that the computers are equipped with coding programs and virtual reality, design, and editing software. Imagine that you have cameras that you can check out, and audio equipment you can test. You can use the media room to film your own vlog or record your own podcast. Imagine for a moment that your latest assignment asks you a question that intrigues you, and makes you feel relentless for answers. Imagine that your response is, "I have an idea..." 

In the IDEA library, our students are mastering their craft. They are learning how they can embody today's modern professional. They are becoming empowered with knowledge, understanding, and awareness. The idea of IDEA is that it doesn't end in the library. One day, our students are going to walk into their very first day of their future career, and they are going to know exactly how to ask meaningful questions, how to seek meaningful answers, and how to map out the exploration towards the next greatest IDEA.
