dps musings

Access to a library can be a pass time that allows children to escape to meet characters such as Harry Potter, or enter a magical forest, or meet Aslan in Narnia, the opportunities are endless. It can also be a good way to encourage your child or pupil to pick up a book and read the pages, look at the pictures and inspire their imagination; a library is a place for all. 

So how do you plan to celebrate National Library Week, in your home, school or community? Also celebrated as School Library Media Month, let others know, leave a comment.  According the American Library Association this week has been recognised in the calendar since 1958! Following concerns that people were spending their salaries on T.V’s, radios as alternative forms entertainment. Now as we enter an age where everything is at the touch of a button, it would be good to remember the history of books and attending our local library to make new discoveries, don’t you think? 

Just to remind you of some of the library blurb in case you haven’t been for a while; 

Circulation Desk – where you check those books out or renew a book.

ISBN – a unique 10 digit number given to every book

Anthology – a collection of stories, plays or poems selected by an author 

Did you discover a great author at your library or do you have fond memories of days spent in the library?
