Today, I worked with Mrs. Keizer’s 6th graders from Gemini. The students received a brief introduction on how to take out and return library books and spent some time learning how to use Destiny, our online catalog.
Usually this type of lesson is taught in September, but the library was closed until March and, with MCAS preparations, this was their first time coming to the library as a group. It was nice seeing them so excited, and they took to Destiny like a fish to water. I’m guessing it’s because it’s online, and they love using computers. It was also good seeing every single one of them find a book of their own choosing, and to hear comments like “this is a good book, I can’t wait to read this one, I like this one, this is going to be great,” etc.
