[aisle] Innovation Center

[Liz Delzell]

Just my $0.02, but I really struggle with the names given to our spaces in
schools. I came from a Library Media Center (that's recently been renamed
as a Literacy & Innovation Hub) and landed in a Resource Center. It feels
like architects and design firms want to call these spaces anything BUT
libraries. Why is that? I believe it is because they are truly out of touch
in terms of what libraries *are* in the 21st century. Yes, there are books
- but in many library spaces, you'll also find green screens/recording
stuidos, breakout meeting rooms, 3D printers, and more. You can innovate
anywhere... so why do we have to rename libraries?

Happy Friday...  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
