In this often hilarious talk, he recalls his obsessive quest to bring energy, learning, art and graphics into these magical spaces where school librarians can inspire new generations of readers and thinkers.

  1. Design it so the librarian would feel inspired and motivated just being in it.

    That's my take away of the video. New way of viewing it I see.

    As long as kids have book of their age and more or less to their understanding they are not to be described as "Bored of Libraries".

    I think (just guessing) wut keeps children away from libraries is simply the easy and prompt fun phones and internet can provide (distractions at general). Maybe without that kids would consider visiting library every now and then.
