I struggled with finding a topic for this assignment for some reason- but I have found myself feeling inspired by the idea of students taking more ownership of the library space and giving them the opportunity to do something interesting with it.
For background information- I am a library assistant in a public high school. We have about 700ish students and at this time the library is not being used as it should (personal thoughts of course) be used. It is used as a study hall, or a space for lunch, or for kids who are supposed to be somewhere else, or the occasional class visit. I would love to pull more kids into the library in some way but don’t have any real say in what could happen at this time.
So I thought we could use a space in our library as a podcast studio. This could be for library purposes- book reviews and the like, or assignments from classes, or just for fun.
Here is my action brief- I would love to hear your thoughts.
Denise,
The space in your library that you mentioned is much larger than I thought! I love the idea of turning it into a podcast creation zone.. and as big as the space is, it could probably be turned into other creation type zones as well – like a little creation/maker space. It would be much more useful than a study hall or eating area!
