Little Free Library
Description:
In this project we made little free libraries. We are encouraging our community to read so we are making these and filling them with our favorite books so that they can have the opportunity to take them whenever they want and enjoy them as much as we do. There are so many little free libraries in San Diego but very little in Chula vista so we wanted to make a change and add some to our school community.

Reflection:
I really enjoyed the idea of making a little free library. I am proud of my team for making a difference in our community. During this project I enjoyed the freedom we had. I was able to be with my building group and work on our little library but yet still make time to hang out with my friends. With the research my group and I did, I learned how important reading is and how beneficial it is for our mental health. The link down below is the documents where we kept our research.

Placard for your Little Free Library: What you want your placard to say next to your Little Free Library:
Hey you! Read. Read because reading is IMPORTANT! Reading is important because it exercises the brain and furthers your tiny vocabulary making you a better writer. When designing our little library we wanted to make something unique yet familiar, so we chose to make a mailbox. We want you to know that the point of this little library is, and that is to take a book, and leave a book. Enjoy

Reading challenge:
I am now aware of how important reading is. Although I strongly dislike to read, I challenge myself to read a book over summer break.
