Anythink Director Pam Sandlian Smith recently took the stage at the Nov. 16 TEDxMileHigh: Women | Values + Instincts to share her thoughts about reinventing the role of libraries in the 21st century. As a longtime "disruptive librarian," her presentation highlighted libraries as a place to not only share inspiration and ideas, but also serve as a community hub. 

"All over the world, libraries are adapting to meet their community's needs," notes Sandlian Smith. "And [those needs] are different in different communities." 

Watch as Sandlian Smith discusses the importance of play, why treehouses serve as great sources of inspiration and what happens when 300 goats show up at the library.
