[AISLE-Share] Future Ready Library Space Names

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I agree with call it LIBRARY...people need to be taught to redefine the
meaning of the word "library" because we are ever-evolving (and it is not
practical to re-do our name with every trend that comes along)!  When
people hear "library" they need to think beyond the books!

However, I do understand the need to give a name to a special sub-section
of the Library....so what about "*Library Lab*" because that laboratory is
the place where students can get hands-on with their learning,
experimenting, collaborating, imagining, and creating.  Kind of like a
science lab...but better!
