Reading is the most important concept in any classroom. As a student, I have learned a great deal of information from researchers and educators about how to encourage and help middle grade students to enjoy reading and read better. My own experience as a middle school student has also taught me what will work with middle grade students and what will have a negative impact on middle grade students. There is an abundance of strategies on ways to help students become the best reader they can be.…

I would like to disagree why books are constantly being banned or censored but no one can person really have a good understanding why they are banned. People say that books influence our thinking a lot, well maybe too a little too much. Somebody assassinated John Lennon for being a phony which was a word used by the main character a lot in the Catcher in the Rye. When the police asked why well the assassins showed the book Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. Maybe this is why this book was…

The aroma of aged and contemporary books when you saunter into the library building, would you miss that? Touching books, writing in them, highlighting them, bookmarking them.

From my personal experience, I began at a public library as a volunteer five years ago and worked my way up, but I made sacrifices along…

in which you can access Google, but they have millions of other resources that you will not be able to find anywhere else; because, in the nonstop hustle and bustle of the world today, the library is an exception to this phenomenon, with strict librarians who enforce utter silence in their library (insert smiley face here), and guarantee a peaceful study space. Indeed, entering into a library is almost like entering into another world, a world of peaceful quiet, invaluable knowledge and…

Senior year…the most fun year according to all my elders, the most stressful year according to my teachers, but for me, it has been an amazingly reflective year thus far. Every essay or assignment so far has asked me to analyze my perspective looking forward, backward, inward, globally, etc… At first, the process of deep analysis into my psyche about who I want to be and where I have been felt scary and daunting so I ran as fast as I could to my Momma! Of course, she proceeded to cry…
