OUR OBJECTIVEStudents for Library Improvement (SLI), is a student club at Oakland Technical High School working to improve the library. Our school library, much like many others in our district, has been neglected and under utilized for years. We hope to turn the library around by gathering community input, sharing our vision with school administration, and advocating for the importance of funding school libraries like ours.
Libraries are a vital resource for all school communities and have the power to positively impact the lives of many. They not only serve as an excellent source of academic help and research skills for students but also as a place for students to explore other interests, build community, and foster a love for reading. We believe that having a usable and updated library at our school will create endless opportunities for students and will improve the community at Oakland Tech as a whole. |
