While getting new computers is always an improvement, one of the downfalls is that there will not be enough money in the library budget to buy new books. I have had the opportunity to interview several students about the current state of the library. I have heard varied opinions from students. Nicole H., sophomore, says: "They should be getting new books - that is what a library is". Zach S. stated: "We need new computers because the ones that are in there right now are prehistoric". I believe both of these statements to be true; if there was a way to fit both computers and books into the budget that would be the perfect situation.
Our beloved computer teacher, Mrs.Fields, also shared some of her opinions on the topic. She said, "Books make good gifts and can help stimulate a students mind." I love books too, but I also think we need to be getting new computers and providing a place for students to study and read. In the near future, we are looking forward to increased funding to be able to obtain new library books. But in the meantime, I think we should be excited for new computers.
