Prepare for a Restful Winter Break

In this episode, internationally recognized teacher librarian and Future Ready Librarians spokesperson Shannon McClintock Miller returns to share insights on the newly updated Future Ready Librarians Framework 3.0. With a focus on empowering learners and leading from the library, Shannon highlights the expanded role of librarians in today’s dynamic educational landscape. 

She explains that today's school libraries are about far more than books; they’re about empowering students through multiple literacies that prepare them for the future. Shannon describes how the updated Future Ready Librarians Framework 3.0 reflects the evolving role of librarians as instructional leaders. She emphasizes that supporting students means going beyond reading literacy to include digital, media, and AI literacies. “We’re not only making sure we’re supporting our learners when it comes to using [AI] responsibly and ethically,” Shannon explains, “but also using it creatively.” 

A key message in this episode is the importance of ongoing dialogue between librarians and students, families, teachers, and the broader school community. As Shannon shares, libraries should be inclusive spaces that support curiosity, innovation, and collaboration. The modern library is a cornerstone for future-ready learning, serving as an engagement hub for makerspaces, student-led projects, and meaningful conversations about responsible tech use. As Shannon reminds us, “Just think of the impact [librarians] have—not only in books and literacy but also in that love of learning, and curiosity, and innovation.” Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.
