Over the last three years, San Francisco library media teachers have engaged in a process of professional development opportunities, networking and communication.

African Drum

The African drum is an important instrument of communication in traditional African societies which serves as the voice of the whole community and it communicates desired information. Children that do not come to the school library media center can be attracted through the inclusion of African drums in her activities. This paper discusses ways through which children could be attracted to the school library media centers for her readership campaign programs through the use of the African talking drums. African drums can be used through role plays, songs, dances and dramas of literature such that children would get interested in reading accessible books in their library. The paper talks about who plays the drum and the indigenous African stories that include the use of drums as a medium of communicating story themes. The paper also highlights some activities carried out by a school library media center in Nigeria (with graphic details) on how some of these drums were utilized. Pictorial examples and presentation of the African drums would be presented during discussions. The African Drum should be seen as a significant technique that could be used in attracting children back to read in the school library media center.

Once a place where books were kept in neat rows and quiet was the rule, the media center is now a hub of activity and the gateway to information and curriculum resources wherever they exist. Encyclopedias have been replaced by CD-ROM multimedia resources, dictionaries “talk,” the card catalog is now online, and computers can access information from databases around the world.
