Fifth-grade students work at the library for a day

 
Fifth-grade students from Olive-Mary Stitt School got to see what it's like to work in a library during their visit on Friday, March 2. The students were able to get real-life work experience in the library's Circulation department, the bookmobile, the Hub and Kids' World. These students learned about checking in books, movies and other items, re-shelving items, how the bookmobile operates and more. This experience was part of World of Work (WOW), a program that gives kids the opportunity to act as employees for a day for local businesses that interest them. This year the program was supported by 22 Arlington Heights businesses with 105 students from Olive-Mary Stitt School participating.
