Life to lemon.
Lemon to lemonade
The middle schools 8n the town I work got rid of theirs also
That’s terrible
Um. What? Books are weights! Move them around enough and BOOM you’re ripped ?
Our high school in town doesn’t have one, but the county library is right across the street.
Thats how my high school was
A lot of our libraries share with local schools
My old hs is mainly sports focused
Mine,for a bigger computer lab
I’m one of the two part-time Learning Commons Informationists (Library Technicians) at three of our local schools, two elementary/primary and one high school. The books are becoming fewer, and there’s more concentration on tech, but we’re hanging on. Lots of computers, and students need to learn how to deal with databases, etc., but they have to understand researching in books, journals, etc.
My village’s public library was attached to the high school
excuse me.. at a school?!?!?!
We had one but I never really used it
We have a good county/city library — but NONE of the public High Schools (There are 19) and only a handful of the of the other public schools (163) have librarians. A large percentage have turned their libraries to other uses.
i went to high school in a small town and we had this big ass library no one was allowed to enter because they didn’t want it to get ‘dirty’. stupid management ??
My small town high school doesn’t have a library, but the public library is next door, in the same building. And it is free membership for everyone under 18. And you could have checked out up to 10 books in at the same time. So that compensates for not having a school library I guess? I really think every town needs a library, doesn’t matter how small the town is. Reading is an important part of your development as a child and adult. One of the discussion topics in my last ‘state’ election was “do we have to keep public libraries in small towns open, even if we have to expand their funding” (funding is paid with tax money). HELL YES
Our school (UK) has a library but it’s pretty small and not very well stocked, it also has computers from about 2003 and to make things worse the door is locked most of the time anyway so we can’t even use it ?
That’s depressing as shit.
I’m happy to report that my old middle school recently turned the old gym into a huge library! It’s easily three or four times the size of what the library used to be. And the attached primary school had it’s own library that’s at least twice the size of the original one.
Note, they didn’t get rid of a gym. There’s a huge new gym, too, but the fact that the old one was transformed the way it was into a beautiful new library made my day when I found out. I might have cried a little.
I graduated from a small town high school (graduating class of like 80 students). We had a library but it was very dark and uncomfortable, for years our librarian was really an elementary-level librarian, we didn’t get new or interesting books, and the only websites we could access were research databases and .edu’s…. I really hope it’s gotten better.
