THURSDAY -- Today, we had another family event for Headstart kids. Unlike the last time when I was asked to help at the reference desk, this night Theresa asked me to help out with the event by watching some of the kids and help them with their crafts after storytelling time. There were many kids and parents that attended the event but this week we were prepared. There were 4 giant cheese pizzas instead of the 2 and 1/2 we had two weeks ago.
Watching the children come into the library with their parents and then helping them do the crafts made me realize how good the library is to the community. Most of the programs that the Children's Room have are geared toward literacy. "No child left behind" is such a noble cause. I cannot help but feel fortunate to live in a country that takes very good care of its future, the children.
At the event, I met Carolyn, the library director who said they are happy to have me as their intern and that she has read my blog. I was a bit flustered about that because I did not expect it. I know that eventually I will need to let my peers know about the blog but I felt that it needed fine-tuning and much editing with grammar and typos but hearing from the director that she read it surprised me a bit. Theresa said I have to remember to write good things about the library. I cannot say enough about the great programs that the Children's Room have to cater to the community. I am not only very happy to be working there, I feel proud to be a part of it, no matter that it's a temporary stint.
