Hello our dear friends!
How are you all doing? How was the month going? We hope you had a great month at work, at home and in all your day to day activities.
We are so happy and excited for the library you are going to establish at our shelter. We cannot express how happy we were when we read the letter. We were jumping and screaming. it is a very great news and we are beyond happy. Thank you so much for opening a library with different type of books that we can use them at our shelter.
We all love to read and to visit library at our school. We all have different taste or choice for books but what make us all same is we love books and we love to tell stories that we read to our friends at school. Depending on our age, what grade we are and understanding we have different taste for books. For example most of our younger sisters and brothers love book which have pictorial description of the message every page of the book and colorful books. We think it is because they can’t understand or read every detailed thing in the book so when they see the pictures they will have a full understanding of the book. Our middle age sisters and brothers chose to read books like story books or books that have different stories in one book. We think it is because they can understand what the message is and also they start to imagine what it is saying in their mind without escaping the reality. We think it is the beauty of reading that it can allow us to image or relate or put ourself in the story.
Our father always says “reading is freedom”. When we ask him what that means, there is no limitation or boundary on how you interpret the message of the book. The more you read the more you become free to know yourself, to express your feeling and to imagine the world that we want it to be.
We assigned two librarians for our new library. These are Yosef and Kidus. We chose them because they are very good on keeping books neat, they spend most of their break time at school library, and they read a lot of books and told us the story so that we become interested to read the books they read. So they are both perfect for this position. When we want to borrow books from the library we will ask them and we will register in the library registration and we will return the book by the due date without any damage. Then through time we will be perfect on library protocol and we will develop a reading habit and improve our culture.
We are looking forward for our 30 minute reading and sharing with each other what we read. We are so happy and excited for everything that is happening for us. We would like to give our thanks for everyone who is participating on the library. We love and respect all of you.
Have a great month our friends and take care of yourself. We love you all.
