![]() It is strange to think that one day when I walk the halls of a k-12 school there might not be a single book in sight! As a millennial, I experienced technology moving into homes and schools. Today, most media centers are dominated by technology, devices, and internet access rather than paper-based books. Media centers have gained increasing popularity because of their focus on providing technology, access to resources such as databases, and spacious areas for classes and group collaboration. Media Centers vary from district to district, but they tend to be a replacement of the old library or a compromise between a partial library and place for technology research to occur. However, the success of the internet and educational technology has opened a new chapter entitled The Media Center. Traditional school libraries are typically the size of a few classrooms with bookshelves and reading areas. The typical story-book school library may be on its last page.
