Check out the Learning Commons model for a high school library. The high school in Chelmsford MA recently underwent the transformation to rave reviews. The Learning Commons model really is a visionary one. Here is the link about the transformation, written by the librarian: http://maschoolibraries.org/content/view/609/294/ Here is another ink to a local about it: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2008/12/08/new_learning_commons_defies_commonplace/ Good-Luck!
