What a time I spent at the Brown County Public Library system. I worked at two different branches receiving 10 hours and the community service I provided at the Brown County Public Library had a greater impact on me than, I believe, on the Library. It moved me in ways that I just can't understand (or at least I'm able to put into words), but the ways it moved me that I can understand are basically what this article will be about. Through donations, care, and freedom, the Brown County Public Library has moved me in such a way that I feel they need more attention. Let me start. Say no to plagiarism.

For starters, in addition to giving free labor to a bunch of libraries that are in desperate need of help (because they don't get enough funding and can't pay more than two staff members), I feel like I gave love to people who felt hate, peace to people in difficulty and dedication to those who were used to people without such dedication. I know, it sounds very self-centered, but I'll go by their emotions and the state of the library. The first time I went to the library, I discovered they were holding a Western-themed workshop for children, and I actually helped. I supervised the creation of the decorations and was also able to answer some questions about the seminar that the kids asked me. My knowledge of the wild west was very useful, as the librarian told me after I finished. They didn't have much staff and weren't able to give the children the attention they deserved. Honestly, the community has lacked dedication, not the library. Plus, it's almost as if the community doesn't want to contribute to the community's better cause and only wants to think about itself. This is bad, because after everyone starts doing it, the same problem arises: too much work, not enough workers. It is issues like this that (in my opinion) cause children in the community to feel alone. This is not good for a child growing up in a community, the community service I am doing helps me feel like I am giving something back to the community to help it thrive, even if that means free labor for a community that desperately needs the service. Having said that, let's move on to the next point. This community service that I am providing has also moved me by giving me the feeling of being cared for. Why? Because in this world it almost seems like this system is broken. You take care of yourself and it's every man for himself. Why did it become like this? We look for our purpose and in the end we don't want to look. We complain that no one does anything, yet we ourselves do nothing. How hypocritical? I think we need to provide a lot more community service as a community. Do we want a better community? Money won't solve the problem. Money makes people think about money, not about care. Which brings me to my point. While doing community service I have discovered something true: it is easier to give to the community when you do it for free. Why? Because then you only do it because you care. Not because it will pay your bills. It's all about paying attention, at least for now. Please note: this is just an example.
