There's a reason we call it a Learning Center, not just a library. Teachers and students are feeling the loss of this important resource, not just in terms of the loss of time for checking out books, but also the loss of access to the computers in the Learning Center (a larger issue for many of our students who don't have home computer access and for overflow of too large classes in the computer labs); the inability of Librarians to teach the classes they used to teach to our students (resource use, research, etc.); the lack of the library for use in homework clubs and daily lunch groups; and more. How can we say we're focusing on LITERACY and then close the Learning Center for half the school year?
