I don't believe in restricting students to certain areas. We had a number
of questions about this as we became a 5-8 school instead of the 6-8 school
that we were. The questions parents asked were an excellent opportunity
to inform people about the selection process and explain a lot about media
programs in general. The quetions were also a reminder of the need to be
be remindful of our larger communities when we select resources.
My first memory of the school library from the viewpoint of a student is
not a good one. I was in first grade--this was in the 1950's--- we were
restricted to checking out books only from a very limited shelf range. I
was insulted, bored and I thought it was stupid. I've never forgotten that
negative experience.
