My name is Jailen Lancerio, and I am the School Library Media Coordinator here at Wilkes Central High School. I LOVE working with students and teachers to help fulfill our mission of connecting, empowering, and preparing every Eagle. Before beginning my career as a media coordinator, I taught secondary English and strove each day to inspire a love of reading, writing, and lifelong learning in my students. Prior to teaching, I served as a college advisor with the Carolina College Advising Corps, working to build a college-going culture and helping students to and through the college application process. I can now extend my passion for literacy and learning beyond my office or classroom walls and into the whole school. My goal is to ensure that every Eagle can find something engaging here in the LC and that every Eagle can read, learn, and LEAD well. 

The question "What is a Learning Commons?" is surrounded by images representing different activities that students can do in the Learning Commons and images of different types of information that can be found in the Learning Commons. There are students shown having discussions, working on laptops, using technology, reading, giving presentations, and solving problems. There are images of animals, people, books, social media icons, art tools, science symbols, famous historical figures, famous geographical landmarks, etc.

The Future of Libraries

"When every student has the potential to carry a global library on the device in his or her pocket, the role of physical libraries may become even more important, not just a place to house resources, but one in which to create meaning from them. The libraries of the 21st century provide a welcoming common space that encourages exploration, creation, and collaboration between students, teachers, and a broader community. They bring together the best of the physical and digital to create learning hubs. Ultimately, libraries will continue to inspire students to construct new knowledge and meaning from the world around them."
