23. Conclusion The JCCHS media center is small, but there is so much that can be done with the space. If the room were rearranged the students could be more easily supervised. Also, the media center could be more inviting and organized if it were rearranged. The individual components of the media center are not in bad shape, minus the table in the back of the room with the broken leg. This means that the things (such as tables, chairs and shelves) in the media center can be used to make the media center a more inviting and educational space for the students and faculty.
