Kirjasto ja sen merkitys?

Kenialainen opettaja Immaculate Nafula kertoo ajatuksiaan kirjoista, lukemisesta ja kirjastosta. 



Is it easy to get access to books?

The books that I favour most can´t be specific because I am not choosy when it comes to reading. I read everything be it children stories, Christian literature, books on was, women literature (on feminism), poetry is my best maybe because of its brevity in choice of words communicating broader ideas precisely and in few words. Discovery documentary books give me wide information conserning different issues / things / happenings.

What are the benefits of reading? 

The benefits of reading is that reading helps us in gathering vast information in different areas, drives out ignorance and so it´s a good leisure activity as well.

Depending on where the pupil/student environment it may be easy or not to access the literary materials. This is because of the change in times where the new generation depends on social media and spend much of their time there. Some use it positively to buy online books in series. This is only a practice by a few. In rural areas, however, it´s a bit tricky because it´s not nurtured to the young minds earlier. Many schools, communities equally do not have libraries in the rural areas like the urban areas where people both young and old can access the literary materials.

Do you yourself love reading?

Personally I love reading and I have a few books that I often buy or sometimes gifted by my friends. I hope to receive one from you too soon.

How do you find the idea of having a library?

I would build a general library covering all persons needs. By this I mean I would consider the different genders, age sets, that is, children story books would be more of pictures stories, teenager´s literature would be on social matters for example healthy relationships, drug and abuse, leadership, investment, among many.
 Adult literature would cover family, challenges, stress management, financial matters and investment among many. Categorise them in that order. Also magazines, computers for data management would be a requirement for record keeping as well as online sourcing of more information.
