Hi All, My principal is asking for suggestions to our auditorium which will hold an evening graduation. We have no windows. The blowers do not cool down the auditorium even when it is empty. I was just in there. Fans would make too much noise during graduation. How do we blow cool air into the auditorium? This suggestion does not work well. ...run all the fans the night before and try to get as much of the hot air out of auditorium. Run the noisy fans also the night before. Remove the noisy fans before the graduation. The exhaust fans should be able to run through the whole graduation...open all the doors that you can. There should be exhaust fans built into the auditorium and they should be turned on. Also any fans that you have put as close to the open doors. You cannot block the doors because that is a fire hazard. Circulation of the air is key. Thanks in advance.

The only thing I can say in opposition to what you've stated is that perhaps, as a whole, you may have something there, but I do believe there are many "pockets" of school districts and librarians who go out and are leaders...who advocate, teach, and are an example. Call this a grass roots effort, but it has to start somewhere. I'm just curious - who are the technology leaders in the great big world of education? Is it the teachers? administrators, campus or central office? regional, state or national levels? School libraries are only as obsolete inasmuch as the amount of effort a librarian has in putting his/her area of expertise, be it physical form, knowledge, or virtual, on the forefront of their campus and district's attention. And then it begins...

The failure of library media specialists to take a leading role years ago in technology and new ways of disseminating information has displaced huge amounts of money. In addition, there has been a huge failure in adding and diversifying services. We should have perhaps 20 years ago taken a leading role in technology and communications, but most librarians decided to remain within the comfort of the known. Our libraries could have had everything - technology, communications and of course books. I fault many of the state and national associations that cling desperately to the old. They have rendered school libraries as "Anhängers" - and that is why many are closing in light of these tight budgets. There has been NO strategy and zero forethought. It reminds me of the stiff geriatric leadership of the now defunct Soviet Union!
