NATIONAL LIBRARIAN DAY
I have found the most valuable thing in my wallet is my library card.
- Laura Bush,
Librarian and Wife of George Bush
It is indeed the truth that books will take you everywhere around this world and even further. Inculcating good reading habits is a vital part of well-rounded development.
This National Librarian, we want to discuss the steadfast decline in the number of people that are using physical libraries these days.
A librarian’s job isn’t as easy as merely checking a book out for you and scolding you for late returns. A librarian needs to remember all the categories and arrangements. You can walk up to a librarian right now and ask them to suggest you five books about a topic and they will do it. Sounds like a superpower if there was ever one!
As Neil Gaiman has said - Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one.
In today’s age where we are all residing in cyberspace most of the time, it is not a shocker that physical libraries are on the verge of decline. Even if it’s not surprising, it is indeed disappointing.
So what can you do as an individual to change this?
Look for a local library nearby.
With Google, it is very easy now. Look for libraries near you, and around you. Find out about your local communities.
