Our Community- Book Store and Library

Continuing talking about the community, friends thought about what a community might need except a Grocery Store. Nosson said  a book store, Emy said a library. We decided to explore our community to find out if there is a book store there. We were walking on Brighton Beach Avenue, when we noticed a store with books in the window. When we came inside, we saw a lot of books and toys. There were some books and toys that we wanted very much!  

Morah asked friends to look for the books that we need, books that we can learn something from

Friends had different ideas about books we need. Some chose coloring books, some chose encyclopedias, some chose books about pirates, and some chose books about living things like butterflies and bears.

After discussion and voted, we chose books that everyone needed.

We paid money to the cashier for the books we chose.

Everyone who worked in the book store were polite and kind to us.

 These are books which we chose, books that we believe we need and can learn something new from. The

next day, we went to explore how the library helps our community. Unfortunately, the Brighton Beach Library changed its work hours and we could not get in. Friends discussed how a book store and a library are different. In a book store, one buys books, in a library, one borrows books. To borrow means to take for some time and then to return. To borrow books from the library, one needs a library card.
