Watch for a Refresh Coming Soon to the Agency Library!

Hundreds of educators come to Heartland AEA each week for classes, meetings and workshops and just about everyone visits the library. We listened, watched and learned that educators are looking for more than our current library provides. We’re finding that educators need…

• Collaboration spaces
• Small presentation areas
• Better access to physical instructional materials
• Greater access to digital instructional resources
• Technology ideas for instruction
• Space to plan and work

We think a reshaped library space will reflect and add value to our agency's educational goals and mission. By re-purposing the original shelving, using existing furniture and adding some new technology, we believe we can make a positive impact on teaching and learning in a fiscally responsible manner.
 


Most of the refresh project will be done will be done during the month of October. As many things as possible will be done during non-work hours to eliminate disruption for staff and visitors. The library and services will remain open during this time.
 
Watch for more information about how the reshaped library will better serve educators and AEA staff. If you have any questions, contact Susan Schrader, Director of Resources & Library Services.
