This is a fascinating new Ebook.Published last week and edited by Kristin Fontichiaro and Buffy Hamilton the crowd-sourced collection of essays is a response to these questions about school libraries.

• What is the future going to be like?
• What do you see?
• What can you hold up from your own practice as a lantern to illuminate the way for others?

This ten chapter publication begins with a focus on the learner and explores key themes including:

• emerging and multiple literacies
• reading
• the physical and the virtual library
• collaboration

Contributors include Joyce Valenza, Howard Rheingold, Donna Watt, Senga White and our own Robert Baigent and with title headings such as Lighting the Fuse of Inquisitiveness and Reading Interrupted: In Pursuit of Passion this publication is full of inspiration for the new term.

The Ebook can be read in a variety of formats and accessed at: School Libraries: What's Now, What's Next, What's Yet to Come
