Who Benefits When There Are No Public Libraries?

Hi Marcus,

Yuk, I have seen something out there reminding me of my pet hates, seedless grapes, wine with screw on top and vegetarian cheeses, great mighty yuk, again.

A very intriguing piece of writing. I have just remembered that for a few years, I lived in a so-called third world country, if you could still use such term because of political correctness we should call it a developing country. However, as that particular one has always been considered a very ‘good’ third world country because compared to the rest of them you would not get mugged, raped and tortured at the police station and there is no army, no war, etc. they did not mind to be called that. They used to have a delightful public library packed with books, obviously, that’s what the libraries are all about; lots of reading rooms, you can even take your student in and run a short quiet tutorial, nobody would mind. That library got permanently closed for refurbishment, well, for at least a couple of years. I never saw it open again. It was in the nineties. They may have opened it again after all that but I do not have an account of that. I mentioned nineties, when digital technology was in its nappies still and there were no e-books, probably no Amazon yet. Since it was a third world county, I never heard any voices of indignation or perhaps there were some but got hushed up. Don’t you ever dare to trust the “Free Media” either there of elsewhere for that matter with the exception of very few decent ones. So, it being a third world country that issue got totally and utterly mounted upon and trampled under big feet. So, what’s going on here? Not having libraries means having to pay for every single book one would want to read. There again, you see, the b******* want to make education exclusive for those who can pay. Remember, the Internet can also get manipulated and one still pays for broadband. I personally, dislike that particular digital media reading gadget which does not allow me to read the full width of the written text. Apparently, I am not the only one; I am talking about kindle books and such. That is because for those cultures who write from left to right and top to bottom, for the sake of their perception of the written contents it is important to complete the thought one way, i.e. left to right. Now, after this, if one has to press the down arrow button and cut the train of thought to go down extra few lines of writing it is not that disrupting. However, apparently, it is vital that the initial perception of the contents, i.e. from left to right does not get disrupted. That effectively, means that any digital media that has narrower screen than the ones allowing to read the complete width of the page in one go (printed in legible font, Times New Roman 12, for instance), appear to be much harder work for us not allowing good perception of the written text. There are other studies as well on the connection between one’s brain and the touch a person has with the printed material, browsing through the pages of books, etc, as well as writing by hand and typing. However, I cannot comment on that as I, personally, type straight away when I write, these days. I cannot get on with half cut sentences on my right when I am reading, though. Please, look up anything under this as a psychological proof that reading printed books or at least reading the text of larger screen is vital proper experience. If you need any other type of support, please, let me know, I can at least tweet or write something on Face Book, not that anybody hears what I am writing but still. Given the time and distance, I am near Reading Berkshire, I may not be able to volunteer at your local library but still, let me know, please, if I can be of any help, will be glad to do something about it. Well, it’s old news that status quo would want to attack the intellectual capacity of general public in order to ease the way into brainwashing it. Well, I don’t think we should allow that to happen, do you?
