[LM_NET] Why we do what we do?

[Amanda Chase <m8flower@MSN.COM>]

Hi,

  Is there anything greater than seeing a child reading for the first time? How 
about when a child is able to take his or her first book home to share with his or 
family? Books lead readers to a world away from politics and their every day life.  
Being transported to a new world opens doors and the mind to new experiences. Many 
readers find out that they can be anything they want when they read a book. That is 
why I am here. I want to encourage a child to read and transport himself or herself 
to worlds of discovery, adventure and excitement. The reader becomes one with the 
book, the experience, and with the library. Guiding young readers is so important 
in providing them up with the skills to become lifelong learners. I love the 
questions and the suggestions from readers of all ages. I strongly feel that the 
library is does not belong to me - it belongs to the students. Their interests and 
needs are what makes the collection in the library. I am here to help them maintain 
their library and enjoy themselves. 

 

  Dr. Seuss said it perfectly with this quote:

 

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, 
the more places you'll go.”

 

Thank you for all the wonderful encouraging words of wisdom and experience. 

God bless all librarians!!
