- Title
So ... How Cool is Your Library?
- Authors
Ray, Mark
- Abstract
The article explores the concept of cool libraries. The authors while librarians do have the Nancy Pearl action figure, it features all the traditional notion associated with librarians including the matronly garb, book in hand and sensible shoes. He says for libraries to claim the mantle of cool, they must first define what cool looks like in school libraries. He adds cool libraries take risks and take their cues from trends as they are not afraid to make mistakes by investing in e-books or using social networks. He concludes that the most important part of claiming cool is getting attention.
