Media Specialists Lisa Gearman and Sara Swenson share their journeys to reinvent learning spaces in two different high schools. DePauw librarians Brooke Cox and Caroline Gilson will discuss how DePauw University Libraries addressed planning, adapting and assessing library study spaces to meet student needs.  We will provide practical advice on design possibilities that can be scaled and tweaked for any library space or budget.
