Designing Library Spaces to Boost Usage

Session Description:
Effective library media programs should provide an inviting, accessible and stimulating environment.  How can the media center be designed in order to inspire creativity, create spaces for play, provide spaces in which to socialize, facilitate learning activities in small group and class group settings, generate interaction between the different media, encourage reading, and promote a sense of wonder?  This session will give an overview of space planning, designing a theme, and creating decorations with limited resources to promote the theme.  Slide show of ideas will also be presented.
