Free Lecture – Playground of the Future

December 7, 2008 Lindsay

ryerson public school playgroundImage by striatic via FlickrLast week, I listened to something on NPR about what the future of libraries will look like (I can’t find a link to the story anywhere – if you remember what program this was on let me know).  It was pretty exciting to hear about ideas for how libraries will function in the future – think less books, more shared tools like podcast studios and meeting spaces.

I back in October, as this group organized a photo scavenger hunt as part of their research on playgrounds.

Learn more about what Carnegie Mellon University‘s ETC program is discovering in their research about Playground of the Future at this free lecture on December 16, 2008, noon @ the Schenley Park Visitors Center.
