Literature lover. In the SFHS dining hall, Sharon Forks Library set up rows of popular books for students to look over, as well as a station to sign up for a free library card. Invited to represent Forsyth County Libraries, Page James joined SFHS during Literacy Day - a day devoted to inspiring students to become interested in reading.

Q: What does the Sharon Forks Library hope to accomplish here today?

A: We were invited to come and represent Sharon Forks, and we wanted to encourage teens to sign up for a library card. We are also giving out information about tutor.com, which is our online tutoring service. It is available for teenagers and younger kids, and you just need a library card. You can become in contact with tutors that specialize in whatever subject it is. We think it’s one of our really good services we supply for patrons of the library. We are hoping people sign up for the library card so they can also use tutor.com We want to promote literacy. As a library, thats what we are about. 

Q: What advice would you give to students who may not be open to reading more books?
A: I would try to find something that would interest the student, because you can tie in almost anything into a book. You can find a book for everything you are interested in. 

Q: How can reading more books improve the lifestyle of students?
A: I think reading is relaxing. It’s a way to escape everything you have to deal in high school and life in general.

Filling the seats. Students spend their IF period in the Arena, the designated “social area” out of the three given locations. The week before spring break, every teacher spent a day dressed in all blue; administration decided to reward their enthusiasm by testing new IF locations. “We’re experimenting to see what students may like. Some may like it quiet,” said SFHS counselor Shari Frankel. “Some students may like to talk. We’re giving them options as far as what they are wanting to do.”
