Last weekend, the volunteer team of the TAS school walked into the community children's service center and carried out a very meaningful and heartwarming volunteer activity of organizing books.

On the afternoon of November 16, the 6 volunteers of TAS were: Cui Ruoxi, Zhang Yichi, Chu Yikai, Fan Xuehang, He Mengjie, and Wang Yilan came to the Tangzhen Children's Service Center under the leadership of the instructor Zhu Haiyan.

In the face of the cluttered books in the reading area, everyone first divided all the books into two categories: one is the books provided by the Pudong Library, and the other is the original books donated by all walks of life or the children's service center.

Next, the volunteers began to carry out more detailed sorting work. They further subdivide the books according to the reading needs of children of different ages: the children's reading area is equipped with brightly colored and vivid picture books, cognitive cards and picture books; The reading area for primary school students covers phonetic fairy tales, mathematical thinking training, popular science encyclopedias, comics, etc.; the youth reading area has classic masterpieces, historical stories, science fiction novels, etc.; At the same time, a special area for family reading has been set up, including books related to family education, parent-child communication and so on.

During the classification process, the TAS volunteers also paid special attention to the newness of the books. They carefully screened out the old books that were severely damaged and outdated and prepared for unified processing. For well-preserved books, they are arranged more refined according to the content theme, age group, and book height to ensure that each book is easy to find.

From 13:30 p.m. to 16 p.m., the TAS volunteers worked for 2 and a half hours in a row. Everyone has a clear division of labor, some are responsible for preliminary screening, some are responsible for detailed classification, and some are responsible for shelf placement.

Although the work was hard, seeing that the originally cluttered book corner gradually became orderly, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.

In the process of sorting out the books, the volunteers are also carefully observing and recording. They learned about children's reading preferences and found that younger children preferred picture books with rich pictures, while older children were more interested in science experiments and literary stories.

At the same time, the volunteers also inspected the actual situation of the activity venue, including the load-bearing capacity of the bookshelves, lighting conditions, classroom size and facilities, and seating arrangements, etc., to make full preparations for the next story meeting, reading sharing meeting and other activities.
