Field Trip to the Library

August 6, 2018 By Nancy Casey

Take yourself on a field trip to the library.  Go for a wander.  Commit to finding something unexpected.

Go down an aisle that you wouldn’t ordinarily frequent.  Pluck a book or two just to see what could be in it. Or lug an oversize book to a table and slowly turn the pages to enjoy the stunning photographs.

The library also has plenty of interesting things that are not books. Take a look at some of them, too.

Ask a librarian.  Librarians are trained to help people find answers to any question. Tell a librarian what you are interested in.  A librarian will tell you where to look to find out more.

Go to the library.  Turn on your powers of observation.  Step out of the weather and into a different world.

Then write about it.

Be sure to give your work a title. Write the date on it as well.

Here is a more detailed version of these directions.
