librarian (Austin, TX) tailors the rooms based on observing the students

This pre-recorded presentation was made for the international conference in Toronto for anthropology (15-19 Nov. 2023).
Jain Orr, the author of this recording, credits her college anthropology classes with tuning her eye to observed and unobserved behavior.
Now she modifies the school library lighting, furniture, collections and so on.
Very refreshing approach and suitable for sharing far and wide among those who run or care about libraries.
