6/29/2016 - Day 4 of the institute - amazing! This day I was able to focus and be intentional in my researching. This was also the day I put my Reader Card into action. I visited two reading rooms - Newspapers/Periodicals and Photos/Prints. These rooms are very intriguing. The reference librarians in both areas were knowledgeable and accessible. I was given all the help I needed and even a little more. In the newspaper room, the staff gave me stacks of bookmarks and posters to bring back to school about "Chronicling America" project. It was a glorius day and I felt completely immersed in learning and inspired by the knowledge surrouding me. I completed a draft of my activity plan late in the evening. I was completely exhausted but on a high from my experiences. My journey here will soon be over but putting the plan into action will be the real journey and where the fun begins.
