help us see the possibilities and
create a context for crafting a shared
vision of library in learning
communities
relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement

technology is just one piece in the puzzle of fostering community and a culture of participatory learning
“…participatory teaching methods simply will not work if they do not begin with a
deep bond between teacher and student. Importantly, this bond must be built
through mutual respect, care, and an ongoing effort to know and understand one
another.”
