On April 11, 2017 Future Ready Schools® held a webinar as part of its Future Ready Librarians series.  The webinar addressed how school librarians can support Future Ready Schools® (FRS). Future Ready Librarians (FRL) identifyied specific ways that librarians can lead, teach, and support personalized student learning. The FRL framework is based on research-based components used by FRS. This webinar examined how librarians can support collaborative leadership by leading beyond the library. District and library leaders discussed how school librarians are extending their leadership beyond their libraries to benefit their schools and district.

In Missouri’s Parkway School District, the FRL framework and Project Connect are guiding the work of the district as they reimagine existing library programs and make decisions about future directions. Focusing on each of these individual topics has given them great insight into leading beyond the library and what it means to be a librarian in the digital age.
