Volunteering at the Community Library
Every
Saturday morning, Sarah volunteers at her local community library. She arrives
at 8 a.m., just before the library opens. Her first task is to organize the
children’s section, making sure that books are in the correct order and damaged
books are separated for repair. At 9 a.m., Sarah helps young children choose
storybooks. She enjoys this part of the job because she loves seeing their
excitement.
After a
short break, Sarah assists in preparing a reading session for teenagers. This
week’s topic is environmental awareness, so she selects articles about
recycling and climate change. She also prints out discussion questions. When
the session starts, she listens carefully and takes notes on what the teenagers
say.
At noon,
Sarah helps the librarian register new members. She enters their data into the
computer system and explains the library rules. Occasionally, she helps older
visitors use the computer to search for books or read online newspapers.

A Day at
the Community Library
Last
Saturday, the Greenhill Community Library held its monthly “Reading Day.” The
event was designed to attract children, teenagers, and parents to spend time
together exploring books. The library had three main sections open for the
event: the children’s corner, the young adult area, and the main hall.
In the
children’s corner, volunteers read short stories aloud while kids sat on
colorful bean bags. Some parents joined their children, while others watched
from nearby chairs. The most popular activity was the “Draw Your Favorite
Character” contest, which filled the walls with creative pictures.
The young
adult area was lively. A local author gave a talk about how to start writing a
novel, and several high school students asked questions about developing
characters. The discussion turned into a mini-workshop where participants wrote
short scenes and read them aloud.
Meanwhile,
the main hall hosted an exhibition of rare books, attracting teachers and
university students. The librarian explained the history of each book and
allowed visitors to take photos. A few visitors stayed longer to copy
interesting quotes into their notebooks.
By the end
of the day, the library was full of happy chatter. Many participants promised
to return next month. The head librarian was pleased and announced that next
month’s Reading Day would include a poetry slam competition for teenagers.

"Volunteering at the Community Library"
Last
summer, I decided to spend my holiday differently. Instead of going on a trip,
I joined a volunteer program at the community library. The program lasted for
six weeks and involved several activities.
Every
morning, I helped the librarian organize books and clean the reading area. At
first, it was a little boring, but soon I realized how important it was to keep
the library tidy for visitors. In the afternoons, I helped younger children
with their reading assignments. Some of them struggled to pronounce words
correctly, so I patiently guided them, reading aloud together.
Once a
week, we organized a storytelling session where volunteers read short stories
to children. It was my favorite activity because I could see how their eyes lit
up when they listened carefully to the story. Some children even asked
questions about the characters, which made the session interactive.
On the last
day, the head librarian held a small gathering and thanked all volunteers. She
said that the number of visitors had increased by 20% during the program, which
meant our work had made a real difference. I felt proud and realized that
spending my holiday this way was meaningful.
Volunteering
not only taught me responsibility but also improved my communication skills. I
also made new friends who shared the same interest in reading. It was one of
the best summers I have ever had.

“Volunteering at the Community Library”
Last
summer, I decided to spend my holiday doing something meaningful. Instead of
going on vacation, I volunteered at the community library in my neighborhood.
The library was small but very important for local children, especially those
who could not afford to buy books.
Every
morning, I helped arrange books on the shelves and cleaned the reading area. At
10 a.m., children started coming in, and my favorite part of the day began:
reading stories aloud. The children loved adventure stories, so we often read
tales about explorers and brave heroes. After the reading session, we discussed
the moral of the story together.
In the
afternoon, I assisted the librarian with simple tasks such as registering new
members and helping visitors find the books they needed. Sometimes, I taught
younger children how to handle books carefully and return them to the right
shelves.
The most
rewarding experience was organizing a “Book Day” event with other volunteers.
We decorated the library with colorful posters and invited parents to come. We
also held a storytelling competition where the children presented their
favorite stories. The event brought the whole community together.
Volunteering
taught me patience, responsibility, and the joy of helping others. By the end
of summer, I felt proud because I had made a small but meaningful contribution
to my community.

“The First
Presentation”
Maria was a
shy student who had always preferred listening rather than speaking. She
enjoyed reading novels and writing poems in her notebook, but whenever she had
to speak in front of the class, her hands shook, and her voice trembled.
One day,
her English teacher announced that every student must prepare a short
presentation about their favorite book. Maria felt nervous, but she decided to
talk about “Anne of Green Gables,” a story that inspired her to be more
confident. She spent the whole week preparing slides, practicing in front of
the mirror, and even recording her own voice to improve her pronunciation.
When the
presentation day came, Maria stood in front of the class. At first, she looked
down, unable to face her classmates. But then, she remembered Anne’s courage in
the story. Taking a deep breath, Maria raised her head and started speaking.
Surprisingly, her voice grew steadier with every sentence. The class listened
quietly, and some even nodded with interest.
After
finishing, Maria received applause. Her teacher smiled warmly and said, “This
is what growth looks like.” Maria felt her cheeks burn, not from embarrassment,
but from pride. For the first time, she realized that her words could touch
others. From that day, she promised herself to keep improving, not only as a
student but also as a person who had something valuable to share.

Title: “A
Rainy Afternoon at the Library”
It was a
rainy afternoon when Mia decided to visit the town library. She loved the sound
of raindrops on the windows and the smell of old books. The library was quiet,
almost empty, except for a few students working on their assignments. Mia
walked to the fiction section and picked up a novel about friendship and
courage.
As she
started reading, she felt transported into the world of the characters. The
story was about two friends who got separated during a storm but found their
way back to each other. The writer described the scenes so vividly that Mia
could almost feel the cold wind and hear the thunder. She admired the way the
author used simple words to create strong emotions.
After an
hour, Mia closed the book with a smile. The ending was hopeful — the friends
were reunited and learned the value of loyalty. Mia felt inspired to text her
best friend, with whom she had an argument the day before.
When she
left the library, the rain had stopped, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.
Mia thought about how stories could change a person’s mood and decisions. The
short visit to the library turned out to be more meaningful than she had
expected.
