Since Carol Koechlin and I have been urging teacher librarians to transform the library into a library learning commons for a decade now, we have not see in the literature a book that would come close to this one in transforming the entire school away from traditions that just don’t fit the needs of learners these days. Our authors have eight principles of transformation and even through they don’t mention the library, you can place yourself in the middle of such disruption as they recommend and perhaps get a reading group of adults to read and think through this book with you. Perhaps the first group is all the professional librarians and instructional technology coaches in your district and then on to the prim pals and classroom teachers.
