What about a set of Plan, Do and Review centers?
Conduct a Google search for "Differentiated Learning Centers in the Elementary Library"
You are looking for a PPT presentation by Kathy Whitinger/Lisa Luse. Great information to use as talking points when discussing center use with your Principal!

Someone asked why I chose to be MunioLibrarian on Twitter?
Munio Definitions:
- build (road)
- fortify
- protect, defend, safeguard
- strengthen
Regardless of where I am, what my official title is or what I may find myself doing-- I am always first and foremost a Librarian who will build, fortify, protect and try to strengthen libraries. It's who I am--not what I do.
