 * What will the library of the future look like? That will depend on the imaginations of the teacher librarian and the school staff. All libraries will look as different as they do today; evolving to fit the needs of their community. ****Some will have wifi, flat screens, virtual classrooms, iPads and automated book sorting stations. Others will contain books, laptops, iPods and a video production studio. One thing is certain, media centers will always be filled with caring individuals who use effective pedagogy to infuse knowledge and a love of reading into their student's lives. **
