Before media centers could be established, non-print technological instructional aids had to be developed.

Before libraries could be established, "books" had to be written.

But before books could be written man had to learn how to write.

Thus the beginnings of today's library media centers must be traced back to the earliest beginnings of writing more than 5,000 years ago.'
