I would like to see this walland door removed. Thiscomputer lab should beopened to feel like a partof the media center asopposed to a separate
room. Students could usethese computers and theMS could monitor andassist whole groups fromthe circulation desk if thisdoor/wall was removed.
An open computer areasuch as this would feelmore like an extension ofthe media center.

This existing reading nook is presently located on theother end of the media center, in front of the teacherresource/work room. It is seldom used because it is so
far away. Students are also distracted when theteachers come in and out of the work room. I would liketo see this area relocated and utilized by the students.
