Taylor
Parks Elementary School students had a surprise waiting for them during their
visit to the library.
The
"usual selection" was removed from the shelves and replaced with
disguised books that haven't seen the hands of any student for a while.
To
entice the students, Mrs. Lind, librarian, wrapped the books in paper bags with
only the summary of the book and the reading level taped on the outside.
Mrs.
Augustyns' fourth-graders were up to the challenge, reading what the book was
about instead of selecting the “same ol' same ol'” based on the cover.
Once
all books were checked out, the students were able to rip open the bags to see
their choices.
"It
was like Christmas," remarked Mrs. Augustyn.
The
discussion after was how we should NOT judge a person or a book by its cover!
