As the library manager for my school library I have used the guiding concept that it should be the hearth of the school, providing access to and engagement with information and support, and welcoming to all. However, technology is fuelling the rate at which "the possible" is emerging and the ordered and delimited space in which to provide library services has been replaced by a library that is everywhere and is, at each level of client service- individual, departmental and administrative- growing to fit and, sometimes, creating the space for, a myriad of emerging functions and visions. For an effective library service to function under such conditions it is necessary to understand and respond to, not only the individual and emerging discourses of clients and the systems in which they are embedded, but to understand the dynamic relationship of the discourses. I contend that, because meaning and meaning making is constantly shifting a Structuralist approach (creating a hearth) was only the nest for the emergence of the powerful bird that embodies what it is possible for information services to be. This paper attempts to use Complexity Theory as a lens through which to show how our library- always in a state of flux and renewal, can be known, nevertheless, as coherent and nurturing. I will examine our experiences and our changing vision embedded in 3 dyads: Specialisation- living the tension of diversity and redundancy, Trans-level learning-enabling increased interaction through decentralised control and, Activating Enabling Constraints- balancing randomness and coherence.
