Take Away School Library Services
Due to the school budget cuts, schools were deciding which of the following activities we
should take away from school: New classroom computers and software, art and music education,
or library services. Of course, picking the least important for school is the best option to take
away. The school library services are most likely to be the least important because we are paying
too much for extra books and also the librarian. There is already a public library or bookstore
near you. Researching does not have to be at school libraries. They can be anywhere else like
home. Also, there is a lot more to find on the internet than there is to find in all these different
books. These also take less space than books.
Our school is losing even more money on these libraries because of extra books we do
not need. Instead of having a library, students already have their own reading book to bring.
Also, students sometimes donate books to the classrooms so students can read. It is also not
necessary for the school to have libraries for extra textbooks because each classroom has all the
textbooks they need for each subject.
There isnt much use of having a school library because there is a public library or a
bookstore near you. Going to these places are a lot more convenient than going to a students
school library. Inside libraries and bookstores, they have more of what you need and want. For
example, they have books you can read to study, or they have computers and other things that
can help you do research and study too. They also have more information because they have
more books. For example, the school library has probably a hundred to a couple hundred of
books. Public libraries and bookstores have thousands! Most of the time, public libraries and

thing is, public libraries are not as strict on schedules as the school libraries.
Another reason is that the library is that it takes up a lot of space that is useless,
especially when we dont even need it. It is a lot better to make use of this space, when we arent
using it anymore. Its better to use it for something else instead of a library. Probably an area that
is useful for the students. Probably another classroom that might be needed.
Some people usually go to the school libraries during lunch, snack break, or even after
school to study there with other people. They would also go there to wait for their parents and
study there while waiting to be picked up. But the public library nearby is a lot better because
usually, more people are there to help each other and they have better books over at the public
library. Also, during snack break or lunch, they want to use the computers for studying to at the
library. But there are a few computers in most classrooms that students can ask permission to
use.
This is the best way to save money for our school. Removing the school library services
is the best option because its the least important. It takes up space, spending money on useless
things such as extra books we do not need, and there are public libraries near you.
