Rather than most books being on display? the renovated digital version Phillips library includes more open space for collaboration. It was last updated in 1987 and was not wired for a world that included the Internet. Renovations began in early 2018 and the newly updated facility opened to students this fall.
Originally designed like a “book fortress?” library now has room for students to study together while some books are on shelves around the periphery. Most books are now in the attic and basement where they can be called up to lending.

“One local benefit of CDL is that students buy sales lead don’t necessarily need to call the book from the attic. delay in getting the book?” Barker said.
As Barker awaits the return of the book collection from the Philippines? he is tracking the shipment (which went on two separate ships and was insured). In the meantime? Phillips is preparing to share the news of its vast sharing the cost of scanning collection becoming open to students everywhere. Barker is excited to offer the school’s resources openly and said it’s particularly timely as school library budgets are being cut? making it hard for libraries to fulfill their mission.

That some schools don’t have libraries for aero leads the anymore?” Barker said. “If other schools like us got involved in CDL in the same way and shared their copies? many public schools would not have to worry about their students having access to collections in the same way they might be doing now. I encourage others to explore it and jump in. It seems like it can only get stronger the more libraries that join.”
