Find Your Favorite Author or Book
I love the library because you can find your favorite author or book. It can help you on homework or reports and if we did not have a library we would not be able to do this because some people can not afford a computer or internet. People could not get to college.

Librarian Makes the Library Wonderful
My library is very importtant to me. It is a wonderful place to relax, do your homework, study, and many other things. This is my first year at the Jr. High, and already I have read enough books that triple what I had last year in reading counts. It is a wonderful thing to do, I spend my time reading in my room rather than watching T.V. My Lilbrarian Mrs. Heinkel, is what makes the library a wonderful place in which to spend time and enjoy books. She is a great person, and I think that our library is the cleanest, nicest, and the most enjoyable place to be.

Reading Is a Great Way to Learn
I LOVE the library so much. My librarian has taught me so much about the library that I check out for people and stamp their books for them. The libraries are great places to be when you're bored and alone because the librarians brighten my day when I'm sad or feeling upset. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE OUT LIBRARIES IN THE SCHOOLS. Reading is a great way to learn about the Civil War... Some kids can't afford to buy books so they come to the library to check or rent a book or a movie. Reading is a great way for better education and if you take that away their is no education for us to read so please don't take them away.

Love the Library
I LOVE the library because it lets you pick from a multiple amount of books and the library has the best books. You can choose from fiction, nonfiction, and what happend back in the past. They can help on reports and if we didn`t have a library we would have to do it at home and some people can`t aford the internet and people would not get a education and not all people can afford a book either.

Live in the Library!
I enjoy the library just as much as I enjoy reading. I wish sometimes that I could live in the library. It is so peaceful. Just me and the books. I would like to live in the library but that is quite impossible. Because I have a family and I need to be with them. So always remember the places books take you and you may see that I am not crazy after all. I LOVE THE LIBRARY!

Library Expands Horizons
Ever since I was little I have loved to read. The library has given me a chance to expand my horizons and read new things. The library has also helped do reseach on whatever school project or report I am doing.

A Library Story
My story is about the library. It gives you information and books that open your mind. Say you have to write a report about a famous person. I would look in the library cause it has about all the famous people you can think of but not like Kelly Clarkson or Tony Hawk. But like Jeff Gorden and Curt Shilling. What about books -- fiction books, nonfiction, all kinds of books. I would pick fiction and nonfiction because it makes you think about the story. You imagine the story in your head and you get pictures in your head. You think the part you read and you try to get a picture. It makes you wonder and think, and think on your future. I like books and hope the library will still be here in the future to get all the books I need.

Library Helps Us Kids
My story is that the library is awesome. You can come and read if you are feeling down about something. Plus another thing is that you can find anything you want almost. I like our library because it has all the books I like. I mostly read fiction. The library is cool because you can read your troubles away. And it is nice and quiet until a class comes in. I like the teacher in charge, too. You should go to the library at least 2 times a week. Because I think it helps to read if you're angry because then you can relax. That's why they shouldn't take away the library. It Helps Us Kids!!!!

I LOVE the library so much. It comforts me so much. It makes me feel so good that I have a place to go and feel loved. My librarian thaught me so much about the library that I feel that I would love to be a librarian. I think tha library is a great place to be througout the day. The libray is my comfort zone and if you take it away from me I will cry. Please don't take away the libraries. Reading is wonderful and I LOVE to READ. Thank You for taking the time to read my story. Please....do not take away the libraries.

Keep Our Libraries
The library is a great place. I do my homework here in the mornnings because it is quiet and our librarian is the niceest person ever. I love to check out books at our library, especially when I find subjects I am interested in because they have a lot of books by the same author. I also like to research on the computers and I like all the different reference books to choose from. The best part of the library I think is that there are over 200 books to choose from and I don't think ANYONE should take the library away. That would be the worst thing ever and it would take away education from us and I don't think that is right. I don't know what I would do with out a library to research and check out books to read. I think it is a very very bad idea to get rid of librarys.

Our library ROCKS MY WORLD
The library is a place I like to go to get away from people. If I have a problem all I have to do to get it out of my mind is to go the library, and check out a book. Our library may not be big, but it is a very relaxing place to be. Our librarian Mrs. Heinkel helps make it that way by buying new books and helping the people who need help. One more thing is that our library is not just a place to check out books, its a place to read, laugh, and research anything you need to know. I would like to thank Mrs. Heinkel for begin so nice to us. I would also like to thank Mrs. Roberson for helping Mrs. Heinkel keep the libray in the shape it is. Our library ROCKS MY WORLD!!!!

LIbrary Is My Favorite Place
The library is a great place to learn. Most people think it is all about books but you can also learn from all the books and from the librarians. The library is my favorite place. Even more than my bedroom! I love to read.

Love the Library
I love the library. I come every morning and read and do homework. The Library is a second home to me. I don't know what I would do if they took them out of schools. It would be boring because the public library doesn't always have the books the school does. So always remember to read, it is one of the best past times. Thank you to all the libratians out there who give there time to getting books for us school kids!

Library Essential to Small Business Owner
As a small business owner, I find the library is an essential source for me. I use it to find addresses for press releases, business connections, advertising ideas, and sources of inspiration. I don't have extra cash for magazines, so I really enjoy reading those at the library. I especially use the books on special dates, to help promote events at my shop. I don't know what I'd do without it!
