Barb's+Story

Barb is the school media specialist at Mooresville High School, Mooresville, Indiana. She has been there for 14 years. In addition to her daily responsibilities at the high school, Barb also oversees all of the school media centers and assistants in the school district.

__**Highlights from my interview with Barb:**__


 * Barb spends the entire school day in the media center. This year, for the first time, she has a homeroom class that she's seen three times since the first day of school.
 * She has no assistant. There are two students who help shelve books.
 * Sometimes entire classes come in to use the computers and/or the reference books; small groups can come in to do research; or students come in for study hall.
 * Students who are failing any of their classes have their media center study hall privileges revoked.
 * Barb is also the faculty adviser for the Student Council.
