How to design a library that makes kids want to read | Michael Bierut

- When Michael Bierut was tapped to design a logo for public school libraries, he had no idea he was embarking on a years-long passion project. In this often hilarious talk, he recalls his obsessive quest to bring energy, learning, art and graphics into these magical spaces where school librarians can inspire new generations of readers and thinkers.

I am 64 years old, I will start my PHd within few months.
My thesis will be “teaching children age 5-9 all about business“.
I think this video will be big help for me. My daughter is an architect, I sent her a copy of this great video.
ah, I like how you're creating a ripple effect!
A copy. Of a video. Right...
Good luck with your PhD.
Sir is your phd completed?
its so cool how the concept kept growing from that initial photo set. The end results all look amazing, I wish we had more libraries like these.
A wonderful ted talk for young designers. To remind us that the work we do shouldnt be based around our portfolio or "cleverness". And its also nice to see that the celebrities of design like michael beirut dont always get it right on the first try either.
Edgar Ortiz. I agree.
yes, functionality over cleverness. general people should get the gist, the purpose/meaning instantly.
Michael's blog posted a digitized "Adam Lanza"'s face on a body, playing dance-dance revolution, to try to prove that SandyH00K's not a hoax.
Working on a school library project now and somehow bumped to this video! made me cry, thank you thank you thank you.... Such an inspiration and showed/reminded me that as a community we can make this happen if we put our super-powers together.... We just need to care, and let the profeccionals do their work... in this example, let the librarians do their magic together with the kids, just give them a much needed inspirational space and resources and watch what happens !...
So are we!! We could really use your help! We are building a library for a middle school who has not had one for over 20 years!
wow this is amazing. I'm soon-to-be librarian and kinda sad how the library was look like but you did a great thing. this is so inspiring♡

Good luck Nadiah, hope you find being a librarian fun and interesting.
It was my dream to become a librarian until I discovered how much of a drama queen I was. Now pursuing drama therapy. Kudos for sticking up for books and quiet reading time
I'm almost a librarian myself!
But when will Ted actually talk?
Phoenix El Classifico Spelaren I don’t know, but I heard MySpace Tom might make an appearance. 😆
The way he speaks makes me feel breathless.
when he's talking about the librarian reminding herself why she comes to work (around 11:25) you can hear that his voice almost wavers with emotion
What a wonderful story! Thank you, TED, for sharing.
I have a Library at School which is based on old-timey Philippine Houses from where I live. They have a fair amount of books and have lots of plants and its so calming to read there. Though most of my classmates only go there to play chess but still I like my Library very much!
I love the green library. This was a great topic. Thanks for sharing!
No just call it a MMORPG and they will read crazy endless walls of text
This is why I feel like everyone who's done edutainment games were morons. There's so much potential in them!
Now I won't say education games are moronic. I played my fair share of mmorpg AND was an avid fan of jump start as a kid. I mean, when I had less language skills I really enjoyed the stories in jump start, and the hard quests (some of them include art / world history too at primary school levels - some of which are things I still use in my BA degree!) super engaging. Meanwhile, as I grew older I started to tend towards mmorpg and appreciating the story arcs, the clever puzzles and quest obsessions. I think education games are very useful to opening up a child's mind to newer, difficult ideas.
That was true years ago, now most players just follow the quest marker on the hud or minimap, reading quest text is a last ditch effort when they still can't figure out what to do. Many players will even ask in chat before reading the quest text they are that lazy.
same here!

Most significant. Feeling hopeful about young learners after listening to this talk.
I love this channel! almost all of the videos u guys make r so self inspiring!
My friend and I talked about the TED and UA-cam combo on our podcast, the two platforms have helped educate people in ways that never would have been possible beforehand
I thought this was going to be about a method of organizing books that's easier to navigate than the Dewey Decimal System.
A great idea and execution to fruition in a simple and brief talk appears to be very interesting and inspiring to me. I will try to mimmic these things into our school library soon. Thank You!
Reading is fundamental
nope

Useful video...nice presentation
Wonderful lecture
Thank your for this information
Reading is very important. Good video.
i'm surprised this is a Ted talk... and not a TedxTalk... this talk was so anecdotal that it wasn't about anything in particular. Official TED talks share ideas, concepts, possible solutions to certain problems. This was just a guy talking about a thing he had to do... and honestly, after he created the logo he didn't sound all the vested in the project but here you see him patting himself on the back for the whole endeavour.
This is huge charity organization called him up to donate a logo and he did... good job bro..they asked him if he knew anyone that could help design/decorate the interiors, he gave them his wife's contact number and the names of some other artists.... good job bro.
Informative session...
this was Very interesting session. Its amazing design.
Nice explain, Thank you
What a great storyteller.
Very important discussion.
Well when I was in school, the school library was well stocked. But my favorite was the Public Library. I could get lost in the stacks reading all sorts of programming, technical and other books.
This is so cool!!
I'M AMAZED!!! :o
Informative session
Thank you so much
Best conversation
Beautiful
Man I wish Libraries were called the Owl. That's so badass. I love it
Very nice session.
great, well done.
Helpful session
Useful information sir
very interesting topic to discussed
Librarians and teachers really put their heart in soul into their work. They deserve the same as these business people. They keep our society a float not business men.
thanks.. important discussion
Michael Bierut's talk was near flawless. Such a great speaker.
Thank you
I WISHED OUR LIBRARIES LOOKED LIKE THAT!!!
Nice explanation
