They do so much, but we acknowledge so little...

LIBRARIANS!!!!! I have gained a new found respect for you. As our service project we had to re-organize the for library so that it would be easier for the teachers to understand the different types of books that they have available for use. It took us five days to do our best to organize the books. We didn't have any ISBN numbers or any other kind of help . All we had was  a bunch of books and the 6 of our brains  It was very frustrating, especially towards the end because we would find more books that belonged in our section even though our sections were all full. It also very aggravating when we would find materials that we could've use to help teach our lessons. It made me think They have a lot of good resources that the students would enjoy, if only they would use them. We had to do a lot of re-arranging on Thursday! After this experience I just want to give every librarian I know a hug. I don't feel like librarians get all of the credit that they deserve. We should never underestimate the amount of work librarians do. As a future teacher, I will know how much hard work librarians put into organizing and arranging books by different grade levels, reading levels, and subjects.


After getting over how much work actually goes into organizing a library, it was clear to see that we were doing such a good thing. As we would work, the students would come in and pick out books to read which gave us more encouragement.
