There is great potential energy waiting to be unleased in public/school library partnerships. Thank you for sharing this creative example that raises the bar for school video tech and AV projects.
How did the collaboration come about?
I have to thank the work of Paul Patwell at Newark Public Library. He serves on the board and brought the talent of these students to my attention. From there he and I worked with the school. AND this is only the beginning. We are working on a larger project that will be as incredible.
