IVIedia Center What was the name of that book? asks Gordon Moyer. Edison's library facilities have progressed even further this past school year to reach- ing their goal of being a true media center. Purchasing more tape players and casette tapes proved to be a wise move. Students and teachers' use of the tapes and players is steadily increasing, according to Mrs. Jacqueline Roscoe, head of the media cen- ter. Mrs. Roscoe mentioned the simplicity of handling these tapes in comparison to large, cumbersome record players of old. The tapes, apparently, are highly favored by Mrs. Roscoe in that they demand less storage space, a factor important to a grow- ing school with growing needs in the way of educational materials. Each June inventory is taken in the li- brary and orders are made to supplement the supply of books, tapes, and whatever materials seem necessary. Orders are made on the basis of the faculty's response to Mrs. Roscoe's inquiry to their needs and desires. Response to these inquiries on the part of the teachers is steadily improving, which pleases Mrs. Roscoe. She added, l do like to hear suggestions from the stu- dents . She further expressed a wish to see more independent reading on the part of the students, and is trying to expand the media center's facilities to encourage the student body to do just this. 186!Media Center Library Aides - Sandy Jenkins, Dotty Sholes, Sheree Stiles, Ann Frankboner, Melinda Booth, Lucy Valentine, Becky Crecelius, Lynn Pomeroy, Becky Rose, Sara Libby, Mrs. Jacqueline Roscoe, and Karen Buehrle.
