Potential Future Direction for Library Media Program:
We will continue to look for ways to support student-centered learning through improvements to our physical space, the climate, and library organization in all buildings. We want to continue to improve circulation statistics and student-staff use at the HS library and maintain the quality of library use at Birnamwood ELMS and Wittenberg ELMS. It is our continued goal to ensure the library spaces are utilized to the fullest capacity possible.
