Re: Media Center behavior

[Sarah Peckham <speckham@BLUEJAY.CREIGHTON.EDU>]

Dear Karen, I think it is obvious that you will have to set your Media
Center
policy limiting how many students may come from a study hall.  Also you
set the
rules of conduct in the center. My school has other places for students
go if they want to socialize and perhaps this might be something you want
to bring up to your administration--so that you can keep the library as
a quiet place to read or study.  It sounds like it has gotten out of hand
over the years and now is a time to reclaim your media center. Good luck.
