The Menomonie School District has 3 certified media specialists, and 5 library media secretaries who perform the duties of aides. Increased enrollments and decreased resources have forged a partnership and has increased flexibility and cooperation between the library media department and the non-instructional staff of the district technology services department.Six of the seven school library mediacenters (LMC) in the School District of the Menomonie Area have hadtheir facilities updated within the past 10 years. Other innovations in the past 10 years have included the addition of an automated union catalog among our library media centers, security systems in the middle and high school, online resources available at all sites, and our web-based union catalog in 2006.All of our LMCs have added networked computers and electronic resources to the list of media materials available to staff and students at all sites. Flexible schedules atall levels have been used and collaboration among specialists and teachers is the norm and not the exception. The LM specialist staff has been at this level for over 10 years. There has been a 1.0 FTE reduction in the LM Specialist time and a 1.0 FTE reduction in the cataloger position as well as numerous hours reduced from the LM secretarial staff due to budget shortfalls over the last few years. We continue to keep the administration and board of education apprised of the research in the area of staffing so that when budgets improve, we are able to increase staffing to DPI recommended levels.
