Happy Friday, friends.

The Future Ready Librarians Framework 3.0 is Here! Look What's New and Download It Here, Friends.

                

We are excited to announce the release of the Future Ready Librarians® Framework 3.0—a bold update to the nationally recognized framework first launched in 2016.

Developed in partnership with leading librarians and innovators, Framework 3.0 reflects the expanding role of librarians as leaders in education, with new emphasis on:

• Multiple Literacies – including media, information, digital, news, financial, health, and AI.
  
  

• Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence – guiding educators and students to use AI ethically and creatively.
  
  

• Ethical Use of Research, Data, and Media – preparing students to be responsible digital citizens.
  
  

• Collaborative, Flexible Spaces – fostering well-being, inquiry, and innovation across the school community.
  
  

• Leadership Beyond the Library – aligning library goals with district priorities to drive equity and innovation.
  

Generously and continuously supported by Follett Content, the Future Ready Librarians® program is stronger than ever, empowering nearly 6,000 librarians nationwide with professional learning, community, and leadership opportunities.

Together, we can ensure every school library is future ready.
