Reasons for wanting a Sister Library relationship: Some of our students have not had
the opportunity to leave our county. We would love to provide an opportunity that will allow
technology to bring students together. Due to the nature of adolescence, teens tend to find
interest in subjects that have a personal relevance to them. Getting to know others in a
distant nation would afford them a connection, making the study of current world events
more meaningful and more worthy of attention. We would like to implement this program
with rising and current seventh and eighth graders, ages 12-14.
