| Friend-ly School Express to the Library With help from a grant from the Friends of the Libraries of Hawaii, FOLK is providing funds for bus transportation from the Kona Elementary schools to visit the Kailua-Kona Public Library, targeting second grade classes from twelve local elementary schools. ● Hosted by the Kailua-Kona Library Children’s Librarian, Denise Stromberg, to provide students with a Library tour. ● Teach students about the Library and its policies. ● Issue the students their own library cards. ● Reiterate the importance of reading. ● Make students aware of the resources available at the Library for both their education and entertainment. ● Story reading Here are some of the student thank you responses: “Thanks for the money for the bus to the Library! I loved it, seriously I loved it! I don’t think anybody else wrote this but I love to read so much that I would die if I didn’t read for a week…” “We went to the public library today. Thank you for making it possible. I learned that we can learn about a lot of stuff and we can read about anything we want.” “You are so kind to pay for the bus. I really enjoyed my time at the library. I liked looking at all the cool books. I loved riding the bus, it’s so bumpy. Bonk, bonk.” |
