The gifted teacher at my school had kids studying major rivers of the world.
Theyeveloped questions and then came to the LMC to try to find answers to things ike:
 how deep is this river at it's deepest?
 What vegetation can be found along this river?
 How did the river impact the civilization.
And more (this was a 4thgrade gifted group) it was a nightmare for all and of course the
students thought the LMC had no resources to help them.

I have a funny to share, it just happened yesterday. A 3rd grade girl came up to me and
whispered, "I need your help." When I asked what she needed, she told me that she was
interested in history. When I asked her what part of history she was interested in, she told
me "The history of fairies." I tried to explain to her that I could probably find her a book
on fairies, it would be in the fiction section, not the non-fiction area. In the meantime, I
got called away. She went to the media paraprofessional and asked the same question,
basically got the same reply. When I returned, she got rather loud and said, "Seriously,
you don't have a book on the history of fairies?"
