Libraries often act as tech-enabled hubs that play a central role in making sure students have access to tools and resources that support learning. And soon, librarians will be assisting schools in implementing programs that teach computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT). The American Library Association (ALA), the largest association of libraries in the world, and Google K–12 Education Outreach have launched the next phase of a program that trains university faculty members to teach future librarians on how to implement high-quality CS programs at public and school libraries. The Ready to Code 2 (RtC2) program will select seven individuals from Library and Information Services (LIS) faculty that will redesign their technology and media courses based on RtC2 concepts and priority areas.
