Big World, Little Library

Being able to read is more than a way to stay entertained,

it is a gateway into the world. During this project, second grade

students at HTeNC will learn about literacy and the importance

of access to books, through creating a book sharing library for 

the neighborhood. Together, they will go through the blueprint

and critique process to create and build a small free standing

structure to serve as the Free Library. Students will research locations

where access to books are limited and pair with a preschool to help

create a book sharing program on their campus. Students will use

data collected on the wide variety of books represented in libraries

as well as book preferences of children at the preschool in order to fill

the free libraries. Students will also write a custom made book for each

preschooler to enjoy.
