Flip This Library: School Libraries Need a Revolution

1 repin

The boldly colored library at the New Vision School, P.S. 69 in the Bronx, is the school's learning epicenter. To enter the building, students must pass through the library on their way upstairs to the school's main floor. The shelving system is from Haller of Switzerland, and the chairs are Arne Jacobsen's "Seven" chair from Denmark.

Things are looking up at P.S. 189, in Manhattan's Washington Heights, where a flock of books (fabricated from sheet metal) soars beneath a digitally printed sky, turning florescent light fixtures into inspiring works of art. The libraries shown in this article are located in some of New York City's poorest neighborhoods, and were created as part of an initiative by the Robin Hood Foundation-a leader in school library design-and the New York City Department of Education.

The library, as we once knew it, may no longer be relevant. School librarians, as we once knew them, may no longer be relevant. And, yet, this is undoubtedly the most exciting time in history to be a librarian. The future of the school library as a relevant and viable institution is largely dependent on us and how quickly we respond to change.
