Lobby Display


The Afton MS/HS Library is a verb.

It means creating meaning
by discovering, reading, and connecting
information to make something new:
your understanding of the world.

It also means creating meaning
by playing music, painting pictures,
assembling gizmos, programming machines,
editing videos, and creating 3-D objects;
on screen and in fact.

Our library was instrumental
in bringing a 3D printer to our
School Library System and to our school.
Over the past three months,
over 40 students and staff
learned to design objects in Google SketchUp
and print them on a MakerBot Replicator 2X.

It has been a journey of discovery, engagement,
and excitement about learning.
