We’re not to call libraries “libraries” any more. They are
now media centers doing much more than housing books. I know this is true
truth, because two of my daughters-in-law are media center coordinators in
public schools. One works in an elementary school in Northern Virginia, and the
other in a nearly brand new Maryland high school. Both started out as teachers
and later took extra masters’ degrees to qualify as media center coordinators. This
is where I get my information.
How do I know that I actually live in the middle of a Media
Center? Well, I already knew my retirement community had several libraries, for
starters.
