Maximize opportunities for hands-on learning by doing through the ongoing transformation of the Library Learning Commons at Frank Hobbs Elementary .

Include multiple modes of communication for learners of all abilities

Incorporate adaptive technology and assistive tech as required by the school context

Equity of access requires that the physical space remove barriers of access to learning

Equity of access will require digital and analog sources across the curriculum accessible to all learners.

Designing begins with empathy and evaluates needs within particular context, folding learning in from different levels and fields.

If designing a resource for hands-on ADST learning, cross-curricular connections to all subject levels is possible.

The new library learning commons must continue to meet the needs of its current K-5 patrons while shifting to more hands-on activities.

The library serves as the hub of the school regardless of level, and must both welcome and appeal to all learners and school stakeholders.

Equity of access within a library setting means the deliberate holding of space for all learners.
