SUMMARY: From spaces designed for play-based learning of Birth-to-5 and their caregivers; to reading, study, and after-school spaces for elementary/pre-teens; to technology-rich study and Makerspaces for teens, public and school library programs and spaces must continually adapt to best serve and engage each successive generation of learner. This includes college-age and adult spaces for individual and group study, as well. Given funding limitations, expansive additions often not feasible, existing spaces must be re-imagined. We will discuss opportunities to reclaim space, programmatic needs, challenges, and approaches for each age group, with case studies from urban (Hartford) to suburban (Glastonbury).
