[ISLMA-Share] Library Renovation: Open Entryway?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

My library sits in the middle of 2 hall ways; one side 5-6 and the other
side is 7-8.  It used to be open and it was so noisy all the time, plus,
with a computer lab in the library as well, it would have been very easy
for someone to walk out the backdoor with equipment.!  We finally convinced
the powers that be to put doors on the library.
