Negative Survey Results…There are no listening stations for the
students to sit and listen to books in the media center.Not enough space to seat a whole class to have whole
group lessons.No place for students to sit and read while in the media
center.Not enough computers for students to use for research.Storybook Corner’s bare walls are boring to visitors and
browsers.AR books should be intermingled with the other books so
that they can learn to find their way around the library rather than just through AR books.
