New media center almost completed
By Rebecca Bunch
Students attending D.F. Walker
School are the lucky recipients of
a newly renovated media center,
designed to make learning a more
pleasurable experience.
Included in the 3,000 sq. ft. area
are a storytelling area, con
ference room, magazine room,
new audio-visual equipment, a
reading/browsing area, reference
room, office, and a computer
room with 16 computer terminals.
The center, which is designed to
serve about 960 students in grades
K-6, will be under the supervision
of Loretta Guard, librarian/direc
tor, and Linda Flemming, media
assistant. Guard says that while
she and Flemming have worked
very hard in moving books and
setting up the new media com
plex, they couldn't have ac
complished nearly as much as
they have “without the help of
some very interested parent
volunteers, who were kind enough
to help out’’.
The calm, peaceful environ
ment in the new Center has been
enhanced through the use of
neutral-colored walls and a large

favorite book, KoKo’s Kitten.
This true story of a gorilla who asks
for a kitten is simply written by
Dr. Francine Patterson, KoKo's
"parent." The book is documented
with full color photographs. While
found in our children's section, this
is a book that will be enjoyed by
readers of all ages.
If you’d like to read more about this
very special gorilla, pick up The
Education of KoKo by Dr. Patter
son and Eugene Linden. It sells for
$7.95 plus tax.
Books on
gorillas and 999

plants. Guard remarks that while
it takes about an hour twice a
week to water them, "it's well
worth the effort, because the
plants really make a big dif
ference in here".
Guard and Flemming are
justifiably proud of the new com
puter room, also. They say that
while quite of few of the kids at
tending Walker already are
familiar with computers, the ad
dition of a special room in the new
center will give a greater number
of students an opportunity to gain
direct “hands-on” experience.
This new media center is ex
tremely versatile, so it can be us
ed for a wide variety of learning
activities for students. The future
of education looks very exciting at
D.F. Walker School.
