Led by well-known library space consultant, Aaron Cohen, participants will learn and engage in a process that allows them to think freshly about the way space is analyzed and utilized. You will learn about cutting edge technologies as well as more modestly priced, but high impact, solutions to library space problems related to creating flexible and dynamic learning spaces.
