In this time of change in our society, children's needs, preferences, and interactions with the world are changing. These changes have sent education policymakers scrambling to two extremes. The first extreme, a focus on testing and basic skills, seeks to ensure that all children leave school with equal knowledge and preparation for the workplace. The other extreme focuses on affective goals of helping children become good stewards of the environment, conscious participants in a democratic society, and technology-enabled individuals with dispositions that allow them to weather personal, economic, and cultural challenges. Nowhere else in schools is the tension between these two approaches to education seen more starkly than in science education, and no other context is as underappreciated as a revolutionizing force in science learning as school libraries. This article takes a fresh look at one's hook by working within innovative science learning trends. The author discusses some trends in resources, technology, and learning that might give one a new science hook and presents some ways one can take advantage of science learning trends in a school library.
