More progress on the LMC!


Notice the huge skylight I don't know for sure, but my guess is that it is between 30 and 40 feet long! You may notice that there is no place for computers, but there will be! Notice the monitors on the circulation desk! We will have 8 computers on table just beyond the circ. desk. My media classroom with 30 computers, is adjacent to the LMC. I'll post those pictures next time!


A Smart Board will replace the white board. This area will have 8 round tables with chaird and a laptop on a cart for a classroom area. Through the windows is a large media workroom.

The view looking toward my office (look closely and you can see my cat-in-the-hat art), past the six free standing book cases that will house the fiction collection and along the 52 feet of shelving along the wall where part of the nonfiction collection will be.

Looking back toward the door where I stood to take the previous photo. Additions to this area will include a colorful area rug for students to lounge on while reading.

Standing in the same place as the previous photo. On the left side is another 52 feet of shelving that will hold nonfiction and reference. The four free standing bookcases on the left will hold the Everybody/Easy books. Each of the free standing bookcases are 9 feet long and double sided!


Another view of the wall bookcases and part of the circulation desk and four of the book trucks (there are several more in the media workroom!

Media Center in Progress


Ten, 9' long and 48in tall, book cases are being assembled this week!
As you can see there is loads of space...Even though I have ordered over 15,000 new books, I'm sure that I'll have room for many more!
I will have round tables in the foreground of the top picture for my classroom area.
I'll post more pictures as I have something to show!
