It is an important element in education. It enriches the mind of a student. It should be a haven of books, periodicals, educational materials and etcetera that is needed to gather research and knowledge beyond the confines of a classroom and lectures of an educator.
As I search the university library I’m enrolled
in, I felt sad and desperate. Simply because I can’t find good enough library resources that could help me in my research studies. Then, I remembered how lucky I was having an opportunity to be nourished by my alma mater with 2 building of libraries that are well equipped with books, periodicals, etc that made my college life easier. As I struggled to cope with graduate school, I thank my alma mater for giving me the perks of still using the library in order for me to find all my research thingies possible.
Realization hit me again. I am not disparaging schools without good libraries or taking proud of my alma mater’s resources. But what bothers my mind is how the opportunity to learn from a library impacts the youth of today.
What will happen to less fortunate individuals who wanna enrich their minds? What will happen
to schools who can’t afford to provide a well equipped library to their student? What kind of discouragement the school is providing their students? How does one research for a certain topic if the library they have is not readily available? Such and such questions really are a big hole in the education system in our country. Lacking of such is really a pain in the ass. Students aren’t encouraged to use the library because it is incomplete and lacks depths. Students aren’t encouraged to widen their research ability and are dismay on the kind of facilities they have in their respective schools. The government should place a big bulk of budget in this area or the school per se should allocate enough funds in building a good library. A good library not only well equipped with books, periodicals, written manuscripts etc but also with a high tech internet access for their students. It may sound so pricey and ambitious but having this is for a good future of students.
