Powered Libraries is an initiative of the Texas Library Association.  Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has declared Thursday, September 15, 2016 as “Power Up at Your Library Day,” and it is a wonderful opportunity to showcase today’s library.  The modern library should be the heart of the school emphasizing student voice and providing opportunities for young people to tinker, create and explore.  Libraries have transformed into innovative centers of learning.  Here at White Oak Middle School, our media center strives to inspire students to become innovative learners who critically evaluate informational resources, solve problems creatively, and foster a lifelong love of reading.
