1As a public librarian working with the public, quiet often our patrons come in looking for exciting reads or newly published books from their favorite authors. Hence I saw it fit that I introduce them to fantastic fiction so that they may be able to see what their authors has published and their recent release. Once they have seen the title of their authors it will be very easy for them to go to their nearest   book shop to purchase a copy of their choice.

As we all know that books or very pricey nowadays if the patron can’t afford to purchase that specific copy, I have also given them a option to trace their nearest library to determine if they have that book in stock and if they not members they can also join the library so that they can be exposed to many more authors which they most likely enjoy or those that write the same as their favorite author.

Very Insightful  and useful tools which we got introduced to..Thanks Ms Shehaamah





Have you ever asked yourself why has this phenomenon called Internet Filtering introduced?  This software was designed to restrict or control the content a reader is authorized to access. Which means its utilized to restrict material delivered over the internet via the web,e-mail. In this day and age as parent we really propelled to monitor what are kids are exposed to, hence  I believe internet filtering is  a excellent way to protecting our future generation from most....by most I mean  not everything that they exposed to can be filtered hence we must be aware some things that they become exposed to we cant control.

 A recent study by the Oxford Internet  Institute revealed that of the 515 (12-15 year old children) interviewed , 14% had a negative online experience, 8% had been contacted by strangers and almost 4% had seen someone who pretended to be them online. Very shocking indeed more reason why parent need to know what their children are up to whenever they spend sometime on the web.

Last night session has really left me thinking and wondering if its for the best or we just depriving our children from things that we think might deter with their morals, as we not around to monitor our kids doings twenty four seven. Until next time Lumka Andries ...............
