Save the LibraryReasons collected from students Book Month 2014

1B It is important to save the library because: It is a place that is nice and comfortable to read

There are more books than at home and maybe mom and dad don’t have so much money to buy more books.

The library is important because we need to read books they are good for us. If we read books we are going to have more imagination

because the teacher gets the books for the class from the library

if we read books we learn more, we have more imagination

because reading is fun

If there were no library no one would read

For the ones who speak Spanish is it good to read in English

If you read it is better because you read new thing and learn new words.

when you are not good in something you go to the library to look for information

you find dictionaries and other books to find information

because going to the library is fun and we hear stories

when we go to the library we can check out books and then we can paint.

If you read you get more imagination

3A So kids get more education

To get ideas

To have a break from playing games on a computer

It’s everything on a computer but spread out and with covers and you can see the inside

To learn about different things

To look up information for projects

With ebooks you have to look it up online, but real books are all ready

You have to pay for the internet but not to look something up in a library

To have fun with Eye Spy books

To have easy books for little kids

Books are real, you can feel them and hold them

If no one had books, people would not learn anything

Makes life more fun

Like Matilda, when you love to read you can become very smart

There are always more things to learn

Reading books encourages you to learn more

Books can make you feel like you’re traveling the world

For instructions

If there were no books, what would authors do?

If there were no library, what would happen to Ms. Cortez?

Keeps you from getting addicted to the internet

You can read books on planes

3B Reading helps us learn very important stuff.

For education

For imagination

For creativity

Everyone should have a quiet place to read and work

To be entertained, because we’d have nothing to do during read period!

We don’t have all the books that the library does

We wouldn’t ever know new books

We love learning new words

We love the activities we do in library time

It helps us with our research

It helps us explore new types of books and authors

We wouldn’t know as much about books.

3D

To learn things that are not in the classroom

Learn how to use ebooks, destiny quest…

If there is no electricity or the battery runs out, you can’t read if everything is electronic

Computers screens tire eyes out

We can learn about wildlife

Learn how to cook

Books are fun!!! 

A place to enjoy the books

You can take a book everywhere, but it is hard to take a computer everywhere

There is more personality in a book than in  a computer

Books don’t rely on the internet, so information is available all the time

4A

 I love reading books

I like to imagine things of fantasy with books in the library

I love the pictures in the picture books

I like to go to another world through my imagination in reading a book

I love the library

I like going into the library and seeing all the books I can hold an touch

I like to see the cover of the book I might read and turn the pages

I prefer holding a real book than reading e-books (but sometimes I like to use the internet)

Ink and paper really bring a book to life

You don’t have to BUY books, you can check them out and return them

The space is quiet, which gives you a time of peace for your imagination

The sound of turning pages is music to my ears

There are lots of books to choose from

4B We need a library because it provides calm while you’re reading; so you don’t have a lot

of noise.

So we can have fun reading.

When we have projects that involve research, we need to have the books and the computers in the library.

When you want to read a real book and you don’t have one, you can go to the library.

We need to show kids that technology is not the only thing that we have to use.

Reading for research is more productive that just searching around on the computer.

If you don’t have a library, it’s basically not like school.

It’s nice to have access to a place where you can borrow books for free.

It’s good because they have bunch of different kinds of books, so you don’t just have to read the books you have at home.

If you read too much on the computer/ebooks it will hurt your eyes, and if you have an actual book it doesn’t hurt your eyes.

There’s a difference between feeling a book in your hands and just reading a book on a screen.

We are lucky to have access to a library, because there are people who don’t have libraries.

If you really, really want to read and your Kindle runs out of battery, then you need to have a real book.

You learn more when you read.

If the internet was down you would have no access to information.

The librarian gives us awesome information.

It’s better to read using a book because electronics hurts your eyes. So the library is needed to house the books.

The library is majestic!

The librarian reads to us.

We need books because if the information is not on the internet, books are needed to find the answer.

The library is a good place to complete research.

5A

it's free (if you follow the rules)

it provides a variety of books

it's a place to quietly do research

it helps us practice reading

it's better for your eyes because you don't blink as much when you use the computer

it will make you a better writer

it exposes you to new books

5B It’s a quiet peaceful place to work, read, research, study,

etc.

Books should always be available even though we have Ebooks.

Ebooks require internet, electricity, and batteries

We have more free options in the library to check out and Ebooks cost money

Reading on paper is better for your eyes than reading on a screen

It’s a public and easy place to access, great place to meet with classmates to work on projects

We need the library to check out other resources than books

It takes the importance away from books!

A computer weighs more than a book

5C

It’s a place where you can entertain yourself with books

The library is a place for you to find books

It helps people learn because it holds valuable information

Where else will you find books?

It is more meaningful to read from an actual book than it is from the internet

We all have many great memories hearing and reading stories together in the library

It is a free place to check out books, it promotes reading

You might come across a book that you have never heard of before and end up enjoying it

It’s easy to find books that are at your level and there is always a librarian there that can help with that too

It’s a place to explore books in a peaceful environment

5D
