1:30 Gamestorming. Write down an appliance. Brainstorm how the library is like that appliance.

A library is like....

a refrigerator-- it keeps things fresh, and you can bring in fresh ideas. Can store things. Washing machine--can see things happening through the window, hot topics and cold facts near each other, shake up the expected and clean out the old. Coffee pot--filters information so you get what's best, collect the information slowly so you get what you want, a full pot. Blender mixes it all up, mixes up information, books, internet, video, and makes a smoothie(finished product). Vacuum--sucks up knowledge, can get to every corner, it has different attachments for different purposes and tools you can use, and it's loud. Food processor--Because we make the monotonous work easier and quicker in helping teachers to find answers. Blow dryer--makes me feel warm and fuzzy, it's helpful, various methods and lots of ways to get hair dried/ find information but the library gets the job done. DVR--can access many kinds of information, can focus on your own interests and resources(personalized), can read over and over again Microwave- Information can be heated up and digested in minutes.
