Fix the Library

Have you been to the school library lately? If you have, you’ve probably noticed that there is plenty of room for improvement. Something needs to be done to improve the school library.

The government and school leaders are all calling for better readers. They say that kids these days just don’t read enough! They say they watch too much television and play too many computer games. Well, if the adults want students to read more, they need to do their part to help the kids read.

When is the last time you spent time in the school library? You’ve probably noticed that there isn’t a very good selection of books. The number of books on the shelf is few, and the books on the shelves are old and outdated. The books have been falling apart for a long time. It is not very fun to read a book that is missing pages or is ripped or has smudge marks on it.

Not only are the books old, but they are also very outdated. There isn’t a single book in the library that was written in the last 10 years. There have been so many new authors and new books that are great! Why can’t the students in this school have access to these great books? The school has got to put its money where its mouth is. If they want the students to read, give them better reading material!
