Jennifer L. Freedman, Director of Instructional Technology & Innovation

Jennifer L. Freedman, MLS, is the Director of Instructional Technology & Innovation in a K–12 public school district, where she also leads the library media program. She created the Unquiet Library route to reflect what school libraries are becoming: dynamic, student-centered spaces grounded in creativity, exploration, and innovation. The booths on this route were intentionally selected to highlight tools and experiences that support making, coding, storytelling, and emerging technologies, positioning librarians as leaders in active, future-ready learning. This route moves beyond quiet shelves to showcase libraries as hubs of design, media creation, and hands-on discovery, offering ideas that can inspire and energize learning in any school library.
