From Library to Media Center: There Is a Difference

Abstract

Miss Powell has ushered thousands of principals, superintendents, and school board members, along with their librarians, through the busy, noisy, varied, modern instructional materials/ media center at Waterville High School in Maine. She gives you the same tour here. Then she makes an impassioned—but well-reasoned— plea for abandoning the traditional concept of a library as sepulchral halls of books and silence.
