When Jennifer Lanier began working as a media specialist at Summit Parkway Middle School in South Carolina’s Richland School District Two, the school library looked like one most of us remember from our own school days. “There were large heavy tables and chairs with shelves lining all walls,” she says. “It was a very fixed space.” After a period of intensive research, she was ready to make some major changes. “My library is now split into two main sections,” Lanier explains, “with the circulation desk as the dividing point. I focused on renovating the back half first. This would become the Creative Commons area. I removed the shelves from the corner, purchased six tall mobile tables, a few stools, six white boards, and twenty beanbag cubes.” The idea, Lanier explains, was not to set up the tables, stools and cubes ahead of time but, rather, to leave the furniture out of the way and let users (both students and staff members) grab it and reconfigure the space to meet their needs. “The arrangement of the space does not dictate the way collaboration is carried out; instead the collaboration can freely flow in the direction it takes. Users can gather around on the cubes to discuss an idea. They can break out to a project table and visualize it on a white board. The simple act of moving allows the brain to be more creative.”
