Beneke said the teachers and student teachers were just as intrigued by paper making as the children. It wasn't until student teacher Michelle Ramer brought in photos of library technology that some of the children became interested in that aspect of the library. Student teacher Stephanie Vickers and teacher Marilyn Worsley responded to that interest by providing materials for the children to use in building their own technology for the center's library. The children have constructed a book drop and a computer with mouse, printer, screen saver, and keyboard. Another aspect of the project was a survey of library patrons.
Kids have a lot of questions, and libraries have a lot of answers.
It's a natural mix.
