At the start of this year, students were asked to answer a few survey questions asking about favorite books, authors, and what they liked best and the least about the library.
More importantly, they were asked questions about what they knew about themselves as learners, what they felt was important to learn and to realize that they have a voice to share.
What I discovered through the survey and what is evident in our scheduled library visits is how much they genuinely love and appreciate this place called the library and what it has to offer. Not simply in the physical sense, although that plays an integral part in their present reality, but also the promise of what this "place" can offer them in their future. What they bring to the journey is a sincere desire to learn, a sincere feeling that all can be possible and a willingness to try their best.
Our first leg of the journey takes us on a "communication" trail.
We are defining "place".
We are defining where we are now and thinking about where we are headed.
Every journey starts with a first step and are on definitely on our way!
In their own words:
WHAT I LOVE BEST...
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW...
HOW I LEARN BEST...
COMING SOON: What is the internet? And ways to collaborate...
