IMPORTANCE OF HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY

 * The high school library is a cool place to look for various kinds of books. Visiting to the
 * library opens everyone from different kinds of opportunities to read and learn about many
 * things. Without the library users would not have books to read. It’s also a nice place to go if
 * you need quiet environment. A library is a wonderful place. It’s where you can get away from
 * the real situations. It’s a place where you can sit down and do research or read a book. If you
 * don’t like reading, then you’re missing out! The library is a great place. Be thankful for
 * having a library, not many people can even buy books! The school library is a great place to
 * study and learn new things about different country, province, animals and places around the
 * world. The librarian is great. She can help you with anything about the library and other
 * matters too! The library is a wonderful place with lots of colorful posters and books and
 * signages! There are many books that are astonishingly great. Generally there is a library in
 * every school… but the High School Library is the best I’ve ever been and seen in Region II! Keep reading!!!

10 REASONS WHY I LOVE FICTION BOOKS: TRUE STORY! Venus P. Ibarra

 * I will tell you why I am passionate about fiction books in a jiffy. But before that, have a
 * little backgrounder.The closest touch I had with libraries was in college. I have never truly
 * affiliated myself with good books until then. And just like a grown up who’d buy lots of shoes
 * owing to her deprivation early in life, I had terribly wanted books. I didn’t buy them, though.
 * I used my library privileges. Up ‘til now. Why do I love books? Here is…


 * 1.	They bring out strong emotions in me which I couldn’t feel in ordinary circumstances. I
 * pour my tears out over an hour of reading not minding those around me who’d laughed because I
 * was crying. This I would retort after reading: “Di niyo kasi alam ang pakiramdam ng namamatayan
 * paboritong karakter sa isang libro.” Love Story by Erich Segal, for one, did this to me.
 * 2.	There’s this feeling of happy exhaustion and revitalized reflexes which I didn’t achieve


 * walking or running fast. I remember one incident: I caught a glass that slipped from my grip


 * in time. Robert Ludlum made me feel like I could move swiftly like his Jason Bourne in Bourne
 * Identity, Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum.
 * 3.	Sweet Valley High, yes I read them, gave me numerous adventures, made me wish I had a
 * twin, but taught me that an older sister and two brothers are more than enough. The adage “Mind
 * that which you have, not that which you don’t” hit me right through!
 * 4.	I dreaded Shakespeare as a subject in College because I couldn’t understand his sonnets.
 * But when I read his plays in a different, more creative presentation (found in a Shakespeare
 * Compendium at the College Library), I finally understood a parcel of him. What a triumph, I
 * thought. I found myself thinking what in heaven did I dislike Shakespeare for? Ahhh! Yeah, his
 * sonnets. To this date, I’m still looking for that one book that would give me commentaries
 * about


 * his 14-line poetry.
 * 5.	I love movies. I really do. One time I saw a book made into a movie and I wondered why
 * it didn’t give so much of a justice to the book. I am referring to The Last Song by Nicholas
 * Sparks. Since I couldn’t read and watch simultaneously, I’d prefer books to movies if you asked
 * me. And since I could do both at different times, I’d read a book first then watch its movie,
 * again if you asked me.
 * 6	Man, Woman and Child made me reflect about open wide acceptance and forgiveness,
 * overflowing generosity of the heart and its power to bestow abundant unconditional love.
 * 7	The seven Harry Potter books got me off the real world and made me realize the mighty
 * power of genuine friendship and that courage as a cardinal virtue dwells not in age. Sometimes,
 * the young harbors more of it than the old. I secretly had hoped I had two of Potter’s best:
 * unadulterated friendship and tremendous courage.
 * 8. In high school, I was always asked to answer a slum book aka autograph. The part that
 * asks for motto in life would always get this from me: “It is better to fail with honor than to
 * succeed with fraud.” But when I’d be asked to answer a slum book now, I’m sure to put “Whoever
 * you are or whatever it is that you do, if you really want something, all the universe conspires
 * in helping you achieve it.” From Paulo Coleho’s The Alchemist.
 * 9.	The audacious truth in the principle of living each day as if it were your last sank in
 * deeply after perusing Albom’s For One More Day. For a moment, I thought about leaving this life
 * and those I’d leave behind come that day. What preparation does this give me? I don’t know.
 * What I know is that one day, all of us are going to be either: one who leaves and one who’s
 * 10.	All the readings of John Grisham’s novels hammered in me the risky lawyer’s life. I had
 * left.
 * long surrendered my dream of becoming a lawyer, consequently. Which was great because I became
 * a librarian, instead. Now I am surrounded with books. And Segal’s, Albom’s, Coelho’s, Ludlum’s,
 * Sparks’s, Mandino’s, and Grisham’s are among them.
 * I could go on with this litany of what books I read and what they did to me. But I hope this
 * message digs the library is a welcoming cornucopia of good reads. True story!

Quotes on the importance of high school library from various authors:
 * “Just as success in the Industrial Age depended on a school system that taught us how to read
 * and write, add and subtract; our success in the Information Age depends on a school system that
 * teaches us how to manage information, utilize technologies, innovate, and above all – think.”
 * (Matthew Barrett, The Globe and Mail)


 * “You will be better prepared to progress in the world of work when you can
 * read and understand information presented in a variety of forms
 * share information using a range of information and communications technologies
 * locate, gather and organize information using appropriate
 * technology and information systems
 * access, analyze and apply knowledge and skills from various
 * disciplines
 * observe and record date using appropriate methods, tools and
 * technology
 * plan, design or carry out a project from start to finish with welldefined objectives and
 * outcomes”(Conference Board of Canada, Employability Skills 2000)


 * “The school library functions as a vital instrument in the educational process, not as  a
 * separate entity isolated from the total school  program, but involved in the  teaching and
 * learning process.”(IASL: International Association  of School Librarianship)


 * “A properly staffed, appropriately stocked and well organized library is a critical tool
 * that allows librarians and teachers to work together to help students achieve  higher levels
 * of literacy, problem-solving and information and communication  technology skills.”(Statistics
 * Canada, 2001)
