Community Analysis

It was awesome doing the community analysis with a school in the area in which I grew up. I sat in with the librarian for 3 hours and realized she does exactly what I want to do with my life. I also realized that the community is more diverse than I originally thought. Collection development must consider the diverse socio-economic population as well as the diverse ethnic population of the school. I was somewhat surprised that being from the Bible belt South that there haven't been any censorship complaints at Taylorsville Elementary School since Amy Dawson, the Media Specialist, has been at the school. So I am excited to get my report typed up and feature a county that I love. I was however surprised that the Media Coordinator used an Activ Board and knew exactly how to use it...the children did too. It was more technologically advanced than I had thought it would be :).
