Beschreibung
This book draws from the Building a Reading Culture and Designing School Libraries of the Future study in Singapore to examine what adolescents want for their school libraries, and how focusing on a user-centric approach to designing learning experiences can encourage self-directed reading and learning. The book offers a way forward for researchers, educators and education systems looking to revitalise their school libraries as informal learning environments that support students’ engaged reading, offer choice in learning and provide a place for their wellbeing within the busyness of the school day. For researchers in education, library science and learning environments, the book offers new interdisciplinary ways for understanding and research.
