Diversity in the media center

With the population explosion that we have had at my school, it is important that all students feel included and wanted when they come to the media center. It is important that no matter what learning style or disability that they have access to every possible resource available. As media specialists, we must know our student population so that we can include materials about their cultures. As we do this, the students are able to learn more about their cultures as well as share the information with their classmates. Having the materials available allows the students to have success in learning as well as maintaining a sense of self when connecting to the materials.
