As technology advance in spades our lives are changing dramatically. Generations’ technological gap is widening greatly and parents are finding it difficult to understand their kids and deal with their ways of working, learning and socializing. It is even more obvious in schools where the challenges faced by teachers, curricula and physical facilities are immense.
Kids’ ways of learning, their multitasking skills are changing. Sitting in a quiet room surrounded with rows of books is becoming almost obsolete. Kids are looking for interactive environments, environments that allow them to work, share, socialize, and learn.
How can the “library” be re-imagined and re-engineered to provide such an environment for the Millennials ?
