Hello everyone my name is Prisha you should choose me to be library president because my favorite thing to do is read and I have a lot of knowledge about the library. When I borrow books, music, and movies I learn something new and it’s because the library provides all these amazing facilities and it helps me learn many different things. When I read the books, they help me express my thoughts, I can identify what is happening ever since I have started reading. I have done many things in the library, for example reading patch club, battle of the books we won, 3d printing, reading with rover, and lots of other programs. There are many different types of devices to help you can use the computers,3d printer, a copier, and a printer but there are more devices to help you learn, play and have a good time. It’s like the library is my and the books home my sister and I have learned many things. We are so lucky to have such an amazing library with awesome librarians helping us so much and helping us find books and do programs. That’s why you should choose me for library president for the day.
