Funding cuts forced reductions in this of the program. . One-ha- lf coordinators, those with less seniority, went back to the classroom, and the rest divided their time between two schools. the media Yes, or coordinators, librarians as they used to be called when the media center was just books, are still there, but, with ordering, inventorying, recording, fixing, running equipment, preparing books to be media a shelved, coordinator's time is not spent with those who would benefit most - the children. I reached these after conclusions spending a day with Sydnee Halladay, media coordinator at Park Lane r . t ' ; V'i-,- ' - ' Willow Canyon elementaries in Sandy, and a day with Josephine (Jo) Wright, who works at Majestic and Westland elementaries in West Jordan. My editor gave me the assignment to find out just what it is that media coordinators do. Never the same "No day is ever the same," said Sydnee when I asked her what her schedule is. "It depends on who needs me for what. I never know what Tm going to find." This morning she pulled out a record player and tape recorder from under the counter. A teacher had asked her to dub a couple of songs for the school's upcoming dance festival. As she works, she is interrupted occasionally by questions ranging from "Do you have Diary of Love'"? and "Do you remember that 'King Kong book I was looking for?" to "What's a good book?" Both Jo and Sydnee maintain the concept of an open media center, where it's okay .. wiB perform routine. Planning Commission Meeting. Tuesday, April 27 at 7 p.m. in city hall. 1.
