Students Visit the Pit Stop Café During I Love to Read MonthStudents were invited to quickly sample a buffet of books at the Pit Stop Café during our first week of “Ready, Set, Read” events. The library was transformed into a restaurant where students were introduced to a variety of authors and genres (Sport Fiction, Historical Fiction, Mystery, Adventure, Fantasy Fiction and Realistic Fiction), allowing them to sample, choose “appetizers and entrées”, and order “take out” when they found books to their liking!
The Book Tasting experience helped our students grow a curiosity about books by answering questions like “does the story description make you want to learn more about the book?”, “do you find the book interesting?”, and “is this a book you would like to check out?” after reading the first 3 to 5 pages.
If and when students found a book to their liking, “take out” (signing the book out) was highly encouraged.
Thank you to Library Technicians Kim Marr and Elizabeth Inglis for creatively fostering a growing curiosity about books and a love of reading students!
