Imagine that your local library has invited community members to submit proposals for a fundraiser. You are the student representative on the committee to choose the best proposal. Read the two proposals, paying close attention to their similarities and differences. Consider whether or not each proposal is logistically feasible, which fundraiser will most appeal to members of your community, and which fundraiser will likely raise more money.

Which proposal do you think the committee should choose? Write an essay in which you make a case for your choice. Support your argument with references to specific details in each proposal.

Proposal 1: The best way to get people invested in the library is to show them the joy of reading. For that reason, the library should hold a book sale. People could donate books that they no longer want, and the librarians could find books that the library no longer needs. Volunteers would need to sort the books into categories and arrange them in an inviting way, like at a bookstore. Books should be inexpensive so people will buy more of them – maybe fifty cents for paperbacks and two dollars for hardcover books. A book sale would appeal to people of all ages, from little kids to older people. There should also be a table where people can sign up for library cards. That way, if visitors do not find any books they want at the sale, they can come back to the library.

Proposal 2: A great way to make money for the library would be holding a car wash. The softball team at my school raised over $400 at their car wash last year! The car wash could be held in the library parking lot on a Saturday morning. You could ask local high school students to volunteer to wash the cars. That would be a great way to get students involved with the library. It takes two or three volunteers to wash a car quickly, so you would need at least ten volunteers. You could charge around ten dollars per car. Even people who are not very interested in reading like to have a clean car, so you would get a lot of people to stop by who might not otherwise come to a library fundraiser.

write a 5 paragraph essay on which proposal is more efficient and why.

Answer 1

Answer: short answer

I think selling the books would be a better deal because, you would have people walking in the library and looking at all different types of books.

I don't think hosting a car wash would work as good as selling books because people would just show up to get there car washed and not actually to buy books.

Answer 2

Answer:

I believe that the library committee should choose the second proposal. The first states that there should be a book sale to raise money, but not everybody enjoys books. It is important to get people interested in reading, but not the best way to earn money. The second proposal suggests having a car wash, and this is the better choice. The library can use high school students as volunteers to wash the cars, and even pay them a small amount of money to teach them workplace values and saving for the future. People who like books and who do not like them can come and get there car washed. They may even become interested in books and decide to come back to the library to check books out. The charged fee could be a low price, so it is a fun way to raise money and fun for the volunteers. This is why the second proposal is the smartest option to raise money.
