Despite the perception that patrons are abandoning physical libraries and conducting all their research online, library as place remains important for many users. For example, at UNLV, approximately 90% of students are commuters and Lied Library is a primary gathering place. In what ways can technology enhance patrons' library experience? What are different libraries doing to make entering the library more enticing and rewarding? Many libraries have embraced the idea of a Learning Commons to keep pace with students' technology expectations. This workshop reviews what innovative libraries are doing with gathering spaces to make the library experience more enlightening and fun, while also using technology to make the library a destination.
