Abraham Lincoln High School’s expected re-opening of the media center has been delayed and is now postponed until after Thanksgiving break in 2016. This has been an issue for both the staff members and students on campus because many rely on the Library as a tool for education and guidance.

Daniel Ceja, student at Lincoln, commented that the construction noise “interfered with student engagement.” He also said the media center was a convenient spot to meet for “group projects and to get homework done.”
Ms. Lyte assured Lion Tales by saying, ¨We’re almost there.¨
