My Service Learning Project: April 17, 2008

Last weeks Service Learning was pretty good. We got some of the things we wanted to do accomplished. We will either be starting this week or next week to start to sorting out the books that were donated. We discussed about how we were going to get the new books inside the school with permission. We got people to research the type of books the young adults of the school like. This week we will be giving all the the information that we have found together and go from there.
We talked about how we are planning on going on a field trip to the library downtown. They will be having a couple of seminars on different topics. We are trying to get to that so that we would have a better idea as to what we are doing. We also will be having one of the librarians from the library next door come in and talk to us about what we want to do. He will also be helping us with the new books that we want to get in. Hopefully we get a lot done at the next meeting.

My Service Learning Project: Library.

In the library group we had a nice discussion. We talked about what we will be doing in the group. We talked about how we need new books and how we need to look for grants for our new books. We also discussed what we would like to see in the library. How we would like to see the books that we read on a daily basis, how we like to read more urban books. One thing we want to do is try to get more of the new books that we read nowadays. One thing that was a concern was how the books that we do have is the books that we have already read in previous grades. We feel that this library is nothing but history books that we personally dont like. Our main goal for the library for this year is to get more people interested in going into the library, not just to go on the computers but to read and check books out.
