I think the Get A Clue summer reading program that public libraries used during the summer will really help get more students interested in mysteries. It is good… Continue

Trends?

Just joined, and already I have an issue for discussion. Received a call from my principal asking me for feedback on trends and what the high school library will be/should be like within the next several years. The district is planning a major addition to the current high school building. I thought of several things, but would absolutely LOVE feedback. Here's my "stream of consciousness" thoughts:
