The purpose of this study was to examine an elementary school library media center in the context of the entire school site to determine possible explanations for disparities between actual practice and the ideal recommendations in the literature. The basis for the theoretical framework of this study involves the multiple realities presented by major stakeholders: the principal, media specialist, faculty, and staff. Qualitative methods were used at one elementary school site: interviews, document analysis, observations, and a survey. Information concerning the school culture and climate was also sought through the data collection. The data reveal three major themes: (1) communication, (2) scheduling of the library media center, and (3) roles of the school library media specialist. Findings suggest that lower grades (pre-kindergarten through second) were more or less satisfied with the status quo---receiving a 30-minute story time once a week including checkout time---while upper grades (third through fifth) wanted more flexible access to the media center along with some literacy and research skills lessons. Lack of communication among the school library media specialist and the faculty and staff as well as general school-wide communication issues need attention. There is confusion as to what the roles of the media specialist at this site should be.
