Write the TAGLINE for the K-12 library of the future. In 140 characters or less, provide one or more taglines that you believe capture the spirit, imagination and place called library.
- Redefined ideas of community.
- Exponential access to information.
- Rapidly shifting context.
- Multiple voices leveraged.
- Learning, design and making happening everywhere.
- Imagination is the fuel.
The library as we know it is changing.
So what!?!
What does it mean to your neighbor, the guy out mowing his lawn? Or, the girls on the soccer team? Have they noticed a change? Do they see this and think library? What did the grocery store clerk and her middle school son do the last time they were at the library? The teacher? What does it mean for him and his students?
Capture the potential, the opportunity, the energy of this place called library. What’s the message? You’ve got 15 seconds to capture the imagination of the mother in the elevator, the kid on the skateboard, the driver in the car.
Create a buzz.

1. Learn more. Create More. Share more. At the library.
2. The library- so much more than books.
3. Imagine a place to sit and read, learn to cook, fix a bike or give a lecture – a local hub and connection- it’s all happening at the Library!
