task
Introduce yourselves to the group by posting a note that covers the following points:
- your name and any personal details you wish to share
- your hometown (in any way that you choose to understand the term "home town")
- pull out the public library card you have in your wallet and tell us about that library
- think back to the public library that had the most impact on
your personal development and tell us about it, covering these
topics (as appropriate)
- where was it?
- what made it special for you? ("special" doesn't have to mean it was a good experience; a library can have an impact on you because of bad experiences)
- what is the relationship between that library experience and the fact that you are taking this course now?
