Starting, October 15th, the Media Center will stay open until 4 every Tuesday and Thursday to accommodate the growing demand of students.  Students go the Media Center for a variety of reasons; help with homework or classwork, getting projects and/or reading done, and sometimes tutoring.   Many think this is a very good opportunity for students because now the Media Center is going to be open early in the morning, as usual, as well as later in the afternoon.  Everyone, including students seem very excited about the new hours.
    "Now when my mom is late getting me at school and I have a lot of homework to get started on I don't have to do sitting on the ground outside,"  Sophomore Jaclyn McCarthy said.  "That's definitely a plus."

    Sophomore Micah Jones thinks it's also a great place for students who can not, or do not want to go home before sports practices.  As apposed to sitting in the Cafeteria or in the locker room, they can go sit in the library for a calm, quiet place to get there work done.
    "It's awesome that the Media Center is open later, that's going to be really helpful for days that I don't have soccer and need somewhere to work," Jones said.
    So whether you need computer access, somewhere to wait until your parents get to school, or just a quiet place to work, the Media Center will be there until 4 every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
