Our Local Library - Mott Haven (New York Public Library)

With the summer program focused on careers, our great teachers scheduled a field trip to our local branch of the New York Public Library. The Mott Haven branch is only four blocks away, so we were there in no time. We met the Youth Librarian, named Lauren. When you go in, please say "hi!". She's a really nice person.

The students learned a lot about careers and how to use the public computers at the library to research more about the jobs they'd like to have when they grow up. The best part - those students who didn't have a library card, totally left with a brand-new one! Look how happy they all are in these photos, posing with their cards!!

To learn more, click on New York Public Library. There are so many resources available there, that it's too much to list them all. Some of our favorites are the free loans of books, videos and CDs, the free classes in everything from English to computers and the fact that we can use their computers when we make an easy appointment.
