INTRODUCTION When I discovered that I had to write a dissertation as part of a history honours course at the University of North London I naturally turned to the library and archive of my employer: the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Britain. The library is a treasure trove of fascinating archives and artefacts recording Quaker history over a period of 300 and more years. Discussions with the Head Librarian, Malcolm Thomas, narrowed the immense range of dissertation possibilities to…

The library has become a place where many come to take pictures when passing by or are around the town getting lost. The statue perfectly fits true to what the town feels like in peacefulness. Although there aren't many art displays in town, it has slowly started to become a change in the city council adding new additions. Vice president JoAnne said,"We wanted to get something special and we thought a piece of art would be nice" as she is involved in the library. (Cashmere Public Record)…

They declared his Little Free Library an “illegal detached structure: and told the family they would face a fine if they did not remove the structure within the…

During the book hunt, I decided to go to the nearest library. I figured the best place to find an educational diverse book would be at Georgia State University library. When I arrived at the school’s library, I went to go look for children books. Unfortunately, Georgia State University library did not have what I was looking for. After I could not find a book at school, I went to my local library. I search high and low for a diverse book at the library in Snellville. I had a particular book in…

In the Wayanad district, there are 174 rural libraries recognized by the State Library Council and many libraries run by other governing bodies. The investigator selected Wayanad district for the study because Wayanad has the highest tribal population and many of them inhabit mostly in remote areas. This will reflect…

and beautifully arranged to attract tourists and scholars especially those interest in learning ancient Greek history. The situation is similar to what happened during the Hellenistic age when scholars would flock the city to study in the majestic library built within the city of pergamon (Yeomans, 2016). One of the most elaborate structures that stand in the acropolis gondola of Bergama is believed to be the location of the temple of Zeus considering the massive foundation found in the southern…
