TL10.2p1-9 38 Ontario School Library Association tary schools with a program to educate them about refugee camps. In adapting this to a wide range of audiences, stu- dents developed leadership and communication skills and raised $2500 for MSF projects abroad. Community programs in which the library partic- ipates include hosting volunteer seniors from a local high-rise apartment building who come into the library to talk with the kids, supervise, and be an elder presence in the school. The local day-care agency operates out of the school, and has its own corner of the Library: the Mini-RAMs, where little people come in at any time of the day with their teachers to enjoy stories, puppets, and playing with the toys. This is an ESL and Community-linked program, as the kids learn English at the same time. The Writer's Craft class (now a Grade 12 course) writes chil- dren's stories, tries them out on the Mini-RAMs, and then takes the finished products to the feeder schools for story time there. TTLL:: How do you spend your "down time"? Well, of course, with a husband and four kids of my own, that kind of thing is scarce right now. However, I enjoy socializing with friends, in between attending my kids' hockey and basketball games and skiing. TTLL:: What are your favourite reads or viewing habits? In the summer, when we go camping, I try to read widely. My all-time favourite book is Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. My most recent favourite read is Rohinton Mistry's A Fine Balance. We watch videos, which the whole family likes, and someday I'd like to have time to go to musical stage shows. TTLL:: It sounds like life is full for you, Mei-Lan. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. z Who do you think should be the subject of future profiles?
