[aisle] Are there still middle school libraries?

[Sarah R]

I'm a junior high school (grades 6-8) and while there are times I am shut
down for testing, a majority of the time I'm open with a flexible schedule
and many students and classes coming in for research lessons, media center
lessons, book club, and checkout!
