New Media Center/Expansion

[Carol Weinshel <hkms@SNET.NET>]

I am looking for any suggestions as to equipment, space, storage, displays, 
shelving,
etc. that you might offer me as we enlarge our Media Center to accommodate 4th and 
5th
grades.  We are currently a 6-7-8 school with flexible scheduling and my hope is to 
be
able to have space for two grades at the same time, if necessary. We currently have 
one
computer lab adjacent to the Media Center and will be adding a second one.
Unfortunately, time is of the essence and while I was given this assignment the 
Tuesday
before Thanksgiving with a week or two to find information, today the request came 
for
all info now.  Any successes/failures, things you might have done differently, 
things
you wanted but couldn't have, didn't know you could have had, etc. would be 
appreciated.
 Sorry for the short notice for help.
Thanks in advance.
