    Rationale Narrative

    Reidsville Middle School media center accommodates grades sixth through eighth. The

    media center is comprised of a professional, reference, fiction, non-fiction, and new book

    sections. Also, it has a whiteboard, student work area, a small computer lab, a game center, two

    online public access catalog terminals, academic coach and media specialist offices, and a media

    storage and teacher workroom. Currently there is limited spacing in the media center, which is

    one of the major issues I based the changes on. After viewing the current floor plan, I made the

    following renovations:

     The computer center was moved in front of the circulation desk to allow the media

    specialist and clerk the ability to be more accessible for guidance and to monitor

    students’ internet activity on a constant basis (Woolls, Weeks, and Coatney, 2014).

     The game center was moved to the other side of the library instead of in the middle to

    allow the non-fiction and fiction book sections to be located closer to one another which

    will enable students to more easily locate the genres.

     The student work area was relocated in front of the whiteboard so when necessary, the

    media specialist will have access to the whiteboard to teach a lesson pertaining to the

    Common Core standards. Also, a divider was placed between the student work area and

    the fiction book section to prevent disturbances while studying or teaching is occurring

    simultaneously as books are being checked out (Woolls, Weeks, and Coatney, 2014).

     The 5 rectangular tables were replaced with 3 round tables. The new book section was

    moved down a few inches, and the 2 square tables were replaced with 1 round table. All

    of aforementioned changes were made to allow more space for students to circulate the
    media center, which research has proven to be a very important aspect of the media

    center design (Woolls, Weeks, and Coatney, 2014).

     One of the sitting chairs was eliminated, while the other chair was relocated next to the

    reference section to provide seating for faculty and staff while reading and browsing the

    professional section, or for students retrieving and reading reference materials. According

    to Woolls, Weeks, and Coatney (2014), this type of area may be available in a media

    center.

     The chrome book cart was moved behind the game center because it is only serving as

    storage to keep the chrome books charged until needed. Access to this cart needs limiting

    until needed according to Woolls, Weeks, and Coatney (2014).
