An overview of what computational thinking (CT) is and why it is important for libraries to add computational thinking activities to services for all ages.
The examples of how computational thinking can be integrated into library services are useful for library staff learning about what computational thinking looks like in libraries. Perspectives from library staff about the importance of computational thinking in libraries are of value for everyone.
