Behind the Library

Five Minutes!

That's all I have to rapidly write whatever that prompted me to start this post!
Let's just say that this is an speed-writing entry. So what prompted me to do so?

All the behind story of what happens in a library. Yes, that old familiar place filled with books but has also now evolved into the 11st century of going digital and being the place to provide intellectual resources to the public. This is really not the one that will be left behind. Nowadays, it doesn't only provide books in paper but in various forms such as ebooks, audiobooks, and some for specially-abled people like Braille and text-to-speech technology. They even have DVD's that you can watch in the digital media area, along with the free use of computers where you can do your online researches, print and photocopy services to boot! (The last two are charged for the printer paper at the very least though.)

But not only that, they also have various educational and cultural programs that caters to kids to adults: storytelling sessions, debate classes, reading promotional activities and many more. There are study halls, seminar rooms for people to work in. They also have a small auditorium that shows movies regularly and can host other events.

The ancient library has long been the center for intellectual amalgamation of minds, along side schools and university but never has it been this much. If anyone has thought that it will be the thing of the past with the digital generation then it would totally be on the contrary.

Now! That's more that 5 minutes! Fail!
