Media centers and image libraries support school districts in providing schools, daycare centers, and other educational institutions with appropriate media and equipment. They offer guidance on the use of these resources and provide continuing education in media pedagogy and media technology to teachers and educators in youth and adult education.

The focus is on teaching basic skills in video and audio production, handling technical equipment, camera work, and visual composition, as well as the active application of the theory taught.

Media centers and visual resources libraries maintain an extensive collection of diverse media, complete with the necessary usage rights and equipment, and offer corresponding technical support. Media centers operated by state, municipal, or church entities fulfill a nonprofit educational mission.
