Money seems to be an important basic aspect of this world, a fact that no one likes to accept but is willing to admit. Virginia Woolf depicts the injustices that are present in the Victorian Era between men and women that result from different economic statuses. The patriarchal society that was present in the past has contributed to how women had inferior education systems than the men simply because of their gender. In the modern world, the issue of unfair education still exists because it is…

Upon visiting the Blume Library to view the exhibition, my initial expectations were that of student's work, instead I was pleasantly surprised to see a majority of photographic artwork from Rama Tiru. Tiru, a professional artist, is exhibiting her work titled "Moment/Alternate Moment." Of these pieces, the one that struck me as most relatable and wildly telling of a culture was, "Taj for the Locals." The archival photo-print with an acid free mat is a glimpse into the lives of Indian people, of…

In this passage, Zadie Smith conveys a strong stance against the closing of libraries. She believes that libraries shouldn't be closed because they provide people with more than just books. To support her argument, she acknowledges counterclaims, uses logic, and uses emotion. To begin with, Smith addresses counterarguments to her claim. She acknowledges that, "... money is tight... and that libraries are not hospital beds and classroom size. But they are still a significant part of our…

Last October I participated in the Dartmouth Native Fly-In Program and while I was visiting I made a trip to the third floor of the Dartmouth library. I remember this experience quite well because out of all the wonderful memories I made on that trip, this was the one experience that had the greatest impact on me. I remember walking into the library where old, frail books lined the walls with dark, mahogany bookcases stretching high. There were antique lamps on the desks that let off just enough…

After the storm was over—a full seven days and six nights of being homebound—a group of my friends and I got together outside of the Puttingneg city library after the martial law was lifted and streets cleared. The library sat on three acres of land. It had a garden and beautiful pond with gold fish. The castle shape library had four towers and many windows. The building was made of marble bricks. As you enter the front entrance, the oval double doors was made of solid bronze. James, Cindy,…

In Richard Wright’s The Library Card, the author vividly describes his quotidian life as an African-American living in the segregated south of the early- to mid- 20th century. Widely considered an autobiographical account, Wright’s short story touches on key details of his everyday life that separated his from the life of many whites. By holding such a unique perspective of the period’s culture, Wright, as the story’s narrator, is able to liberate himself from the confines put in place by the…

The Walter Royal Davis Library is the central library for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, it is the primary resource for all students, and was completed in February of 1984. Around this time, the Wilson Library was closed for renovations. This led to a transition for thousands of students who relied every day on the vast wealth of information that, at the present time, was only available through a library. These changes brought upon difficulties for the university employees, the…

Whether it’s about exploring and defining our sense of identity, as a potent trigger for retrieving memories, or a way to shift the mood in a room in a matter of seconds. We coupled that insight with the benefits of Spotify: the music library is deep and broad, and the features of Spotify Premium (like being ad-free, and able to sync and download across all of your devices with no effort) make it better than any other way to listen to that music. So music is powerful, and Spotify is…
