Media Center Organization

Project Description

Once a week every Tuesday and Thursday we are organizing a group of 5th, 6th, & 7th graders to meet in the Media Center. Then we will break into groups and organize each section of the library for the new year. We will work on this for about 2 hours a week until the end of the school year. We are re-categorizing the books in a new way to help younger students navigate good books that they will enjoy. This is a good way to get service hours, and improve our school's Media Center.

Reflection

This year we have done our library service project where we would take the books that are in the library and we put it into our system so our staff can keep track of books when they are checked out. We have done half of all of the books in the library and have had a bunch of amazing volunteers helping us accomplish this goal. Through out this project we have both grown as a leader by collecting our volunteers, keeping track of who is volunteering, teaching people how to do the app, and cleaning up after every meeting in the library. We learned how to keep groups of people in order and learned what it is like to truly be a leader for people. 

Even through we have accomplished so much we also had some struggles we faced throughout the process. For example when one of us could not be here the other had to lead the group all on their own and really step up. Another example of a struggle we faced was when after winter break it was hard to make another sign up sheet and get people to volunteer again and it really set us back in time. Even though we have faced many challenges while doing our project we became true leaders and learned how to problem solve when faced with these problems to get the things we want to get done.
