Most people would say that a project like ours would be nearly impossible to accomplish. We managed to prove this almost accurately. We struggled many times with much aggravation, but we accomplished what we could. Everything we anticipated didn?t go as planned, but we still found a way fix that. Mrs. Kynast, the St. Joseph Public Library Director, said that ?A project like ours was very difficult.? She had told us earlier the best thing that we could do was talk to middle school students.
We did presentations at both Upton and Lake Michigan Catholic Middle Schools. Mrs. DeRubbo, an eighth grade English teacher at Upton, said that our ?presentation was very informative and that is was also very good.? We thought that it could?ve been better. Mrs. DeRubbo was very glad that we had worked with her and that she?d help another senior exit group at Lake Michigan High School in the future.
I think we might have made a difference through this project because not many people know what a library offers and what it does for a community. There was only a few participants though. But still with a number as small as that, citizens might realize what they could?ve lost within there city, township, or district. All there needs to be are a couple of voices and others might follow, then a difference will be made.
