Introduction
Introduction
Historically, long-range library plans, which are required through Wisconsin Administrative Code PI 8.01(2)(h), have been integrated in district information and technology plans. With recent changes in requirements and forms of these plans, library plans have been left to stand on their own. Using the Future Ready Librarian framework as a guide, an up-to-date library plan has been created for the Kewaskum School District Libraries. Having a long-range plan developed utilizing the Future Ready Librarian framework allows for library programs to effectively increase student achievement, provide equitable resources to all, and be a key collaborative part of district learning initiatives.
This site acts as a dynamic format of the plan and contains pages that represent each of the "wedges" of the Future Ready Librarians framework that all lead to learner centered literacy. Each page contains a short description of the wedge, along with what is currently being done in the KSD Library program, possible areas for growth, and links to artifacts when applicable.
