[AISLE-Share] Library vs. Media Center vs. ...

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

We used to be the Library Media Center. However, now that media is in every
student's hands (we've been 1:1 for 5 years) and every classroom has its
own smart board, just "Library" seems more applicable. Besides, nobody
liked the longer name in the first place!
