12. Reflections
School libraries as a “place” will continue to be
important, but library staff will expand programs
beyond the library walls and create virtual libraries
capable of reaching and serving students wherever
they are, both at and away from school.
- Rolf Erikson
Let’s collaborate for the benefit of our students!
