The Library is Open!!

The library has been officially open for two weeks and we have over 1,000 books!

This past week the students were on winter break so the library committee and I organized a camp for kids ages 8-12 to give them something to do and by the last day we had over 60 kids! One day we had a youth theater group perform a sketch about acceptance and tolerance and had the kids reflect on what they thought about the different characters and their attitudes. Then we did a lot of games where they had to work together in teams to achieve a common goal. Another theme of the camp was civic responsibility and we talked about the different community institutions and their roles in the community. On the last day we had a very successful scavenger hunt where the kids had to go to the different community institutions and perform different tasks in each location and after completing all the tasks they would receive the final clue about the location of the treasure i.e. a bag of candy. It was a great way to end the camp and we had a lot of fun!
