Bragging a Little
Here are some of the wonderful comments that we received after giving library tours to all of the 5th graders in Roslyn. These tours began last year and came out of a conversation about collaboration between the Children's Department and the schools. We spend a lot of time and energy on the visits because we know that we are lucky for the opportunity to speak to so many adults and "future adults" at one time. If our goal was to excite everyone about all that the library offers, I think that we were successful.
“We had NO idea what was available. It is a new world for us. Amazing.” Parent, Laurie Merlis
“Going into middle school, the kids should learn all about research at the library.” Parent, Hillary Tenner
“They learned about all the great resources available at the library and online.” Parent, Tammy Rosenbaum
“This trip was full of useful information. I know, I learned many things.” Parent, Jill Glick
“Yes, I feel the Roslyn Library gives the children many resources for the future.” Teacher Assistant, L. Farnan
“It is extremely beneficial as a “step into middle school.” Teacher, Terri Nappi
“The trip allows the students to see how resourceful the library is for them.” Teacher, Karen Hintermeister
“It is a wonderful way to bring them to the next level.” Parent, Megan Gomez
“My daughter has only utilized the children’s section up until now.” Parent, Eden Buchbinder
“Many of the students are unaware of the electronic resources so the Power Point is especially helpful. Visiting the Bryant Room is also very valuable.
Thank you! As always, the trip is so well organized and highlighted the most important information.” Kelly Denig, Teacher (Kelly used to teach Kindergarten, she has been a fifth grade teacher for the past five years.)
“The children need to know about all of your services. I live in the district and love your library, the staff, and all of your services.” Lori Maller, Teaching Assistant (Lori’s three children have been/were frequent users of the Children’s Department.)
“Opens up the eyes of children to a world they may only have heard of, yet -- not truly experienced. Thank you for this tour and showing me” “your secret upstairs Roslyn Room” I didn’t even know it existed ---What a treasure!” Marla Fein, parent.
“It’s very important that children become familiar with what the library has. I love that kids can go online and get help with their homework.” Stefanie Kammerman, parent.
“Gives the students great info for middle School. My family uses the library all the time, we love it. The staff is always great.” Andrew Mulchinski, parent.
"Thank you for the great tour! I never knew that the library could be such an interesting place! I loved the Bryant Room... Normally, I go on Google to access information. Now I will use the Bryant Library for research. I will also check out my summer reading book at the library. Thank you! I never knew that a library card could do so much. Your friend, Kyler Rood"
