Geek State of Mind
At Downtown School in Des Moines, Iowa, learning about the library is serious business. After spending time discussing how libraries work, visiting a local library, creating individual presentations and designing their own classroom library, students in a combined second and third grade class were asked to draw a picture about the library.
What made the biggest impression on these young minds? Was it the microfiche machine, Dewey Decimal or free public computers? Without any prompting, many of the children—including seven-year-old James Konfrst pictured above—created unique ‘I geek’ pictures! A new generation of young people who understand that whatever you geek, the public library supports it all … we geek it!
