GEN: new media center building plans

[Nicole Roohi <nicoleroohi@pickens.k12.ga.us>]

Hi!  I am new to the list and new to school media centers this year.  Which
makes this a stressful year anyway, but on top of this we are reconfiguring
our school next summer going from a k-3 to a k-5 so we will be shipping out
a lot of books, and bringing in new ones.  Next fall we also have our SACS
accreditation.  On top of this, we are building a new media center starting
next fall, and I want to give input on what a media center should contain.
So my real question is, where can I find standards and plans for new media
centers, and what are good books or sources to consult?  Any advice on any
of this would be much appreciated.  Thank you.
