My School Library
A Breath of Fresh Air

The ghost of Madam Nee Babrax Kaur would indeed be very ecstatic without any shadow of doubt with the way our school’s library looks today. A walk down memory lane would certainly remind us of how the library looked before and the drastic transformation it has undergone today. With what looked like a rustic old library now outlines a contemporary look with a touch of sleekness. From the Cedar countertop all the way to the little grafitis hanging on the walls really does define the term “into the today’s zone”. The space has also been very wisely segregated with the ICT section on one side and the reading section on another giving much intended free space encouraging efficient mobility as opposed to last time’s morning congestion. All of these would not have been possible without the two masterminds who I would say the pioneers behind this success, our beloved ex-principal Mr.

Cheng Sai Lak AMN, AMP and Dr Kathirasan AMP. They spearheaded last year’s mega fund-raising project, the Indian Cultural Show which raised a warping of more than RM31, 000 and this big sum of money was generously donated for the up scaling purpose of our school’s library. Since then, our library was being upgraded till very the finished piece that we all feel very content with today. Apart from that, the addition of two new coffee tables in the library definitely provide a sense of privacy. Now, do not ever think about chit chatting as it is still strictly prohibited! The library also received a new coat of paint quite recently. But not everything had been transformed as the separate reading room is kept just the way it is as tradition must prevail. It is very fascinating to see that ACS is giving everything that it has to preserve and treasure its very valuable and priceless heirloom, our library. So, we are shouldered with a responsibility of taking good care of our library as it is our heritage.

    A recent survey showed a documented need for public library construction and renovation projects totaling more than $2.2 billion. More than 51% of the over 1,000 public library buildings in communities across New York are over 60 years old. Another 33% are more than three decades old. Older and outdated libraries generally end up presenting countless problems; they may not be ADA compliant, they are unable to hold the ever growing number of books, outdated electrical wiring, and inadequate room for a rising population are just a few of the many potential…

    It makes sense that Congress was hesitant about impeaching the president. Impeachment was a new process. Actually, some could consider impeachment to still be a new process in the present day because no president has been fully impeached yet. However, even though impeachment could still be seen as a new process, the checks and balances of present day are more well development. I also hope that if this situation happened in present day, citizens would take a…

    It is very obvious that so many students come to the university library with their laptops and not a big portion of them use the hardcopies that are stacked on the shelves of the library. This, to a considerable degree, could mean that the students are there for the comfort environment that the library provides more than the actual books that are available, and which students can get online anywhere. The library looks like a center for students’ different daily activities, as it has various areas for different activities such as socializing, eating, group work, silent areas and computer…

    When I was younger, both mind and body, the Library was a place so big, yet comfortable to get lost in, since getting lost ment a good book and a friendly smile from the librarians. As I proceeded to age the Library was no longer a massive palace, but a local Library with great resources. As I aged, the library aged (or changed in this case) along with me and I began feeling ambivilous. I was not sure if I was happy to see the library adapt to the growth in technology, or sad to see the characteristics of the Library I had known since childhood…

    When you look at the same place twice, once in the past and once in the future, you don’t have the exact same view towards it. You’ve grown up and your thoughts have changed. It could be good, bad, or maybe even both. Ben Milam Elementary was my place. When I visited it again after six years, I realized it is the place where I lost an experience but it is also the place where I have gained an opportunity.…

    The Library of Congress

    <b>HISTORY</b><br>The Library of congress was established by an act of congress on April 24, 1800. It was originally housed in the United States capitol. The collection, which stared out small at 740 volumes, slowly increased to over 3,000 volumes by 1814. That year, though, the British along with the capitol burned those books during the assault on Washington.<br><br>To rapidly replace the collection, Thomas Jefferson offered his personal library to congress at no cost, describing the nature of his books like so: "I do not know that it contains any branch of science which Congress would wish to exclude from the collections; there is, in fact, no subject to which a Member of Congress may not have occasion to refer." This changed the library from a tiny legislative workplace to the largest national institute that it was about to become.<br><br>Jefferson's more or less 6,500 volumes formed the heart of the library, and grew speedily in the nineteenth century. The new copyright law of 1870 demanded that two copies of every single book copyrighted had to be given to the library in order to receive protection. The flood of material that resulted forced the construction of a new building that opened in 1897.<br><br>A new age for the library was guided by the opening of the Jefferson building and The Main Reading room. Special format collections were separated from the book collections and the readers could access them in different locations of the library. Some of these format collections were maps, prints, music, and manuscripts. The continued growth of the library's collection required two new buildings at the location of the library, Capitol Hill. These two new buildings were the Adams building, built in 1939, and the Madison building, built in 1980. Even though these new libraries were opened, the Main reading room stayed the central point of access for the libraries collections. Most people, weather they are doing specialized or general work will start in the main…

    There are many libraries which I use regularly in London, some to borrow books from, some as quiet places to work in, but the Westminster Central Reference Library is unique, in a small street just off Leicester Square, it is run by the London borough of Westminster. You don't need a ticket to get in, and it is available to foreign visitors just the same as to local residents. You simply walk in, and there, on three floors, you can consult about 138,000 reference books and they include some very remarkable and useful items.…
