All Media Centers in Columbia County will be transitioning to the Learning Commons model over the next several years. This will be an ongoing process that will include remodeling the physical aspects of the Media Center, and the activities planned in collaboration with the classroom teachers. Traditional libraries in the past have been strictly used for book check out and return. Over the years, computers have been added to accommodate changes in technology and needs for more research based projects. Our goal is to have a more flexible space with resources that are well-selected, furniture that is adaptable to the needs of students and teachers in large and small groups, current technology, and a knowledgeable staff all in one space where we can prepare students to be successful in the future. We want our space to be conducive to collaboration amongst students and teachers. A Learning Commons provides all of the traditional library services, while also offering other instructional experiences from other curriculum the students are learning in the classroom.
