Hey Everyone,
Hope you had a happy summer. =) It's been great seeing you all back at the Big House. There's lots of surprises in store for you this year: a fabulous new computer lab, tutorial passes, and no food or drink in the library (for real) to begin with (we'll tell you all about all that real soon). And though some stuff may seem lame, actually Miss Helen and I are looking forward to giving you all the awesome library experiences you deserve. (We promise it won't suck. We swear!)
Smiles,
Ms. Koval =)
Okay, who spilled the Snapple? Seriously, you guys, this was so uncool. For real. I'm not even kidding. What if that Snapple had spilled on the computers? (Computers which we know all too well pretty much suck!) There's a reason that there's no food and drink allowed in the library! Because accidents happen. Because, frankly, some students just cannot be trusted to not make messes! And because vermin -- like ants, roaches, rats -- like sweet sticky stuff. A lot! =( Please keep the Snapple capped! Please keep the library clean! It's the only library we've got! Thank you.
Last week Mr. Hurwitz's English classes got a lesson in letter writing and practiced with some "Dear Ms. Koval" letters. I LOVED reading what you wrote! THANK YOU for your thoughtful ideas and for the stuff you said that made me LOL! =)
I mean, really! An air hockey table, a pool table, a snack bar, big screen tvs, and a temperpedic bed! You guys cracked me up for real! =)
It's not that I'm not for some of these things, it's just that I'm not for having them here. (On college campuses, you'll find all this cool stuff and more in the student union, not in the library.)
Talk to the PTSA and the Boosters about your ideas. Who knows, you might just make them happen! =)
Here are some of your awesome suggestions for improving the library.
1) the books & the mags..
music and musicians, sports and athletes, biographies, and "anything interesting"! =)
2) the space & the stuff...
couches and comfy chairs, bean bags, more tables, more computers, wi-fi, MySpace, movies, music, and "air freshener in the bathrooms"! =)
3) the atmosphere/the vibe...
You said you want the library to be a more relaxed place where you can talk, eat, work, read, and relax comfortably, or in your words, "chill"! =)
Now, I can't guarantee that all your requests will become realities, but some will for sure and soon! I swear! =)
