do not have a specific type of management style. However, the management style I commonly used when managing a secondary school library would be coaching and democratic. Coaching means to help the library staff to improve or polish their skills so they can work efficiently. For example, new student librarians can shadow senior student librarians to take part in library duty. I would regularly observe their performance and give feedback such as the techniques for efficient and correct shelving.…

In Jorge Luis Borges’ “The library of Babel” humans search the incomprehensibly large library for books which will explain their existence. “Like all men of the library, I have traveled in my youth. I have journeyed in search of a book, perhaps of the catalogue of catalogues” (80). Borges shows that man is curious, and motivated to learn. Man has a tendency to want to figure things out in order to classify them so that they may be understood. The books in the library are symbolic; they represent…

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, as well as other sources, include several incidents that impact both children and adolescents in a negative way. Reducing the amount of literature that is available for young aged children can positively influence their behavior in any situation. Although The Secret Life of Bees exhibits the freedom of speech and tools…

The American Library Association created a list of books that are prohibited to read in schools. Due to violence and “mature” content, parents challenge books because they don’t find them very comely for their children to read; the parents believe the books will sully their child’s mind. The list of banned and challenged books includes the story of “Grendel” and The Alice Series. “Grendel” by John C. Gardner tells the 8th century epic of Beowulf from Grendel’s point of view. The story tells of…

Throughout the essay “The Library as Survival”, author Alberto Manguel liberally uses exemplification in order to share with his readers the idea of his own personal library as a mirror for humanity. Like humanity, Manguel believes that books portray the injustice, loss, hope, and passage of time that human beings go through. The catalyst for his thoughts on the subject matter is the well-worn prayer book that he recovers and describes using humanlike words, but that is not where it stops.…

He makes the point that he couldn’t get books by saying “There was a huge library near me in the riverfront, but I knew that Negros were not allowed to patronize its shelves any more than they were with the parks and playgrounds of the city” (Wright 42).
