The history of the library fun to sit back in look at. What I find more interesting is how the placement of libraries, play a role in literacy, graduation, and college possibilities by specific communities.
When looking at literacy, graduation rates, and college possibilities in my perspective I would say access is one of the biggest factor in determining an individuals success. Those with less access can be seen in the poverish areas where schools there are no books, internet, libraries are not accessible, and support and resources are limited within the community. On the other hand more access contributes to the fact the when walking into a school all you see is new. New books, new computers, new everything. As you continue your journey you will see accessible libraries in every community which enhances the opportunity that individuals have. Lastly in these communities there are an abundant amount of resources which are equally distribute to those who want it.
Saying this I feel that in future courses offered I think that curriculum should surround all aspects of mentoring, resources, and success.
Trough my book report on "Handbook of research on literacy and diversity" I attempt to focuses a bit on these aspect, with the attempt to better educate myself on these issues.
