The Lending Library

By: Taylor S.

This year every class at our school got to go to the library once a week. Since school is almost over, we were not allowed to go to the library.



To fix our problem, we created a lending library to help us have books to read. Many people in our class loaned a least ten books EACH! We made cards for the class to check out and check in. A lot of people brought Beverly Cleary and Matt Christopher books. A lending library really helped us keep up our reading!

    Dear Taylor S.,

    Thank you for bringing in books for the classroom, "Lending Library." Without those books, I couldn't of read as much as I did.
    Everybody loved the lending library for many reasons. All those cards that got filled out showed how much people loved them.
    Once again thanks,
    James

    Dear James,

    I all so wonder if we are going to have one next year. I would want to participate, it's fun. Would you participate in one next year? Alas, the week might be crowded because I herd we will be studying California Missions.

    Thanks,
    Taylor S. :-)

    Dear Taylor S.,

    The "Lending Library," sounded like a lot of fun. I just can't imagine having a " Lending Library" with California Missions. So I'm not quite sure I want to participate.

    Also, if it weren't for Benjamin Franklin, we wouldn't have our idea of the "Lending Library". Did you know Benjamin was a librarian in 1733-1734?


    Keep in touch,
    James

    Dear Class,

    Our lending library is not a new idea. In 1731, Benjamin Franklin and several of his friends opened The Library Co. of Philadelphia. Books were expensive, and they wanted everyone to have access to books so people could better themselves through reading.

    That Philadelphia library is still open!

    I'm sure Mr. Franklin would have loved our little lending library! (Alliteration! :-) )

    From,
    Mrs. Yollis

    Dear James,

    I did not know that awesome fact! How did you learn that cool fact? Did you read it in a book?

    Dear Taylor S.,

    I found that out on a website. I was surprised when I read that fact. It sounds like Benjamin Franklin has really made the most of his life. What do you think?

    Sincerely,
    James
