Computer Lab in the Library??

[Ken Hawley <khawley@CAM.K12.IL.US>]

A team of teachers here at my middle school would like to propose that the
new computer lab (a second one)...be placed in my library....(there is room
for it to be located elsewhere).  My library is not a huge one and they
would like to propose that the new computers be placed where study carols
(sp?) already exist.  I personally am very much opposed to such a idea.
Maybe if my library were larger...but I'm not sure then either.  I already
have five computers in the library on the network...plus my public access
terminals. The reason they want to do make way for a extra classroom that is
needed.

My question I pose to you is what reasons would you have for not wanting to
place a computer lab in the library?  Since I am small, I don't want the
extra added confusion of dealing with a lab in addition to to running the
library (I am a solo librarian)...I'm sure that you can give me lots of good
ideas here to speak about when this is discussed THIS FRIDAY at a staff meeting.

I appreciate any of your comments
