The document summarizes the current state of the Wheeler County Middle/High School Media Center. It describes the facilities, layout, resources, and policies. It notes feedback from student and teacher surveys identifying needs like more computers, higher level books, and soft seating areas. Suggested improvements include adding new books, more computers, and designating a soft seating reading area.

4. View from Middle School Hall The entry way from the Middle School hall is decorated more than the entry way from the High School hall. It catches the attention of the Middle School students. The bulletin board reads: “Who doesn’t like to read? Choose good books and read!”

5. View from the High School Hall The entry way from the High School hall is not as decorated as the Middle School entry.

6. Media Center Current Floor Plan

8. The Media Specialist’s Office The MS office has windows on two walls which allows for viewing the activity in the media center. Inside the MS office, there is just enough room for the desk and two chairs.

9. Seating Areas There are seven adult sized tables with chairs that make up the seating area. These tables are also used for faculty meetings.

10. Computer Lab The computer lab, which is a room located inside the media center, contains six computers, printers, and a scanner. These computers are for student use and also for the high school students that are taking online classes through NovaNet.

12. Work Areas This work area is joining the MS office. There are many cabinets for storage and a copy machine. This room is at the back of the library. It contains the Ellison machine and the laminating machine. It also stores magazines and newspapers.

13. Storage Areas These pictures are of the same room. This room is mainly for teacher supplies. In this room, you will find bulletin board paper, construction paper, boxes of pens, markers, sticky notes, paper, book carts, over head projectors, and other miscellaneous items. Our school supplies the teachers with necessary supplies because the teachers do not get supplements in this county.

14. Another Storage Area Because of the school installing new cameras in all rooms and hallways, the TV's, old computer parts, and carts are being stored in the hallway leading outside. There is a lot of work being done in the AV room.

15. AV Room These pictures are of the AV room. This room houses all of the electrical wiring for the school. It also contains a variety of videos for teachers to use in their classrooms.

16. Conference Room The conference room is located beside the computer lab. It is a room that is used for parent conferences and other meetings with only a few people. Testing is also done in this room.

18. Book Display Areas The MS does a good job displaying books in the media center. There are two display tables and the books are changed every month.

19. Newspaper and Periodical Area There is a small section on the back wall for newspapers and magazines. There is also a stand for pamphlets on career choices at the nearby technical college.
