Teacher-librarian

In most towns or cities, you will find a library; whether it contains “old-school features”, including a card catalogue, a historian, and an old librarian shushing you for talking too loud, or it features modern aspects, like usable iPads, eBooks, and lots of noise being made. The local library in my town became my home as a child. I enjoyed reading many books throughout my childhood, and there is no better place to read a book than a library, which had become my favourite hobby. The book's release

Even though our world is getting more and more connected, censorship still remains one of the top issues that separate people from reading books. Books are the spreader of both bad and good knowledge and I believe that we should no longer contain or ban books just because they are offensive to certain groups in America. The debate on challenged books is a hot topic in America because the country is founded on a basis of freedom of speech. Many books have been challenged or censored during different

Subject A standard report to provide more books and reading materials rather than invest in new technology. 1.0 Introduction As a librarian of the Open University Malaysia, I had read an excerpt from an online education article recently about how new technology had transformed the way we live, especially from the education aspect. The investment of new technology such as e-books and e-journals had made library more easily accessible. The shift from traditional library to e-library do transform its

Rural libraries provide an information access point to those who live in remote areas. To define, rural libraries are critical instruments for service areas of 25,00 or less. The social economic life of population groups trend towards lower income and poverty. These forces constrict and curtail patrons abilities for education, self- improvement and access to variety of information platforms. In the course of this effort we will provide a brief survey of challenges that rural libraries

pick up the next book in Ron Roy’s A to Z Mysteries series. As a first grader, there was nothing more terrifying than being forced to let go of my mom’s hand and peruse the hostile shelves for the books in question. Heaven forbid I ask one of the librarians for help, so this process — the respective searches for The Jaguar’s Jewel and The Ninth Nugget — usually took approximately twenty-five minutes. Five for my mom to successfully detach herself from my prying fingers, ten of aimless wandering amongst

Thirty Thirty, that is the number of books that were banned or challenged in the United States in the year 2017. Likewise, that was thirty plus life lessons, themes, and morals people could not learn. That was thirty books that people could not read. Most importantly, it violated their First Amendment rights. Some people believe books should not be banned in schools/libraries because it limits the important life lessons that could be learned and it also violates the First Amendment rights of U.S

Books are created with the knowledge and randomness of an author’s mind. Some challenged and banned books are rightly so, but that is not always the case. Schools across the country are banning books for numerous reasons, yet rarely are books challenged and banned for the right reasons-if any right reasons exist.

Several years ago, I worked at Savannah Technical College library. I was a Librarian for two years. Savannah Technical College Library is very similar to a Public Library and North Central Library is

Banned books happen to be a very contradicting topic, with many people having their own opinion about the issue. They are useful in schools, they are beneficial, and they are factual pieces of evidence and information. Some people believe that books should not be banned because they can be beneficial. Many parents challenged books due to inappropriate content for their children. “I made myself a snowball, As perfect as could be. I thought I’d keep it as a pet, And let it sleep with me. I made

In spite of well-meaning adults’ screams to the contrary, books by popular authors should not be banned in order to protect children from them. This is just as true now as it was when Judy Blume penned her op-ed piece in 1999. When she wrote that article, the subject was one of the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling, but she described the same phenomenon being associated with books by Madeleine L’Engle and Mark Twain: adults, trying to protect children from assorted evils, use loud, passionate arguments
