Parkview/Centerpoint Elementary School and East Metro Women's Council Lending Library Project

Book Organizing and Reflection:

We will categorize and organize books, computers and other media (books on CD's, books on tapes etc.)

We will also have a reflection meeting, following the semester long project of learning to write letters to public officials, local non-profits, school staff and families for the purpose of generating support for the book drive, inviting people to attend the learning library start up and sharing the effectiveness of our efforts.

Items reflected on will be:

* Response we got from the Public Officials, from within our school community, from the local libraries and businesses.

* Kick off event itself

* Attendance

* Establish on-going goals to make sure the materials in the lending library are well cared for and utilized and to make that the lending library results in better readers.

* Should we repeat participation in the GYSD event next year?
