The authors offer practical ideas for developing effective programming through collaborating with the community to develop and implement programs, connecting programs to ISTE Standards and curriculum, and addressing curricular and socio-emotional needs. They also share practical advice on budgeting and funding to support programs, scheduling, maximizing the use of technology to aid in programming and much more.

"This book will make connections with the AASL Standards and approach the idea of collaboration from three areas: 1. Collaboration between school librarians and classroom educators to create library lessons and projects that meet library skills goals as well as classroom learning goals to create a collaborative experience for learners that flows through multiple spaces and creates a learning foundation for skills and ideas. 2. Collaboration skills for learners. It is essential that learners learn to be collaborative and know how to work with others, share ideas and receive feedback. 3. Space. The school library is the heart of the school and it is imperative that the space fosters a culture of collaboration in the physical space but also allows for the time, space, and freedom for learners to collaborate. This book will look at how the physical library space and the culture and philosophy of the library can help to cultivate collaboration in learners and educators"--Provided by publisher.
