Model 21st Century Libraries

We are in the midst of a Strategic Planning process and are looking =20
for model, 21st Century Libraries/Learning Centers that support =20
learning in any PK-12 environment (we have a library on each of our =20
three campuses and are interested in seeing Primary, Middle and Upper =20=

School models, or any combination thereof; we are also interested in =20
model college/university libraries). Ideally, we would like to be =20
able to visit a few libraries=97virtually and/or in person=96=96and to =
ask =20
some questions regarding space design, access to resources to support =20=

the curriculum, technology use and access, and staffing needs. Do =20
any of you work at or know of a school that has undergone this kind =20
of library transformation?
I would very much appreciate it if you would contact me off list, if so.
Many thanks, in advance, for your insights and guidance.
