They can deem certain books as being inappropriate for certain age groups, but other than that, a library banning a book is usually considered the mark of Thought Control. In the Free Marketplace of Ideas, the good books will thrive and the bad books will be seen for what they are, eventually.

What do you know about the library?

Libraries are the source of getting knowledge. We find all types of books in Libraries. Now, one librarian is present in Library to give us idea about the right book.


What libraries ban books?

Yes. This answer above would be highly unlikely. Libraries are strongholds of support for constitutional freedoms. Members of the public who want to dictate who-can-read-what according to their own particular views often request that libraries remove books they disapprove of. This is rarely, if ever, done because libraries provide a broad range of types of information for everyone. Even if access to a book is limited, books are not banned by libraries. However, libraries can not buy and store every book published. Librarians choose books through selection processes that provide for a good general coverage of areas of knowledge and deeper coverage of areas of interest to their users. So, one library might have very little on marine biology but have lots of cookbooks. Another library might have very little on automobile repair but have lots of books on music. Although some areas might have lesser coverage in a particular library's collection, books are not banned in these areas. Individual members of the public who want to personally dictate what information others have access to try to ban books. Associations/organizations that want to dictate what information others have access to try to ban books. Librarians and libraries do not ban books.

What are the reading materials found in the library?

There are a few different types of libraries. There is the private collector's library, where the private collector may be an individual or a private business or institution; public libraries which are accessible by the public and usually funded by tax money and ran by public servants; school/college/university libraries which provide access to resources for students, staff and possibly parents of students of the educational institution, and sometimes allow access by the public; state and national libraries which are usually not accessible by the public, and serve as a repository of published works within that state or nation; research libraries which hold indepth information on certain subjects; reference libraries where resources must be used at the library and are not lent out; and digital libraries which are accessible by computer, and may fit within one of the other three classifications.Libraries may contain books, dvd's, cd's, video tapes, video games, board games, ebooks, magazines, newspapers, microfilm/microfiche, prints, maps, documents, audio books, other forms of digital media. This is not a complete list but covers most formats of information that libraries may contain.Referring to the most general library type, the public library, reading materials in hard copy are broken down into sections for magazines, newspapers, and books. Books are broken down into categories of fiction and non-fiction. Some classifications of fiction include children's books, books for teenagers, drama, mysteries, comedy, etc. Non-fiction books are broken down into categories such as history, geography, culture, medicine, etc, which may then be broken down further into more specific categories such as World War II, African culture, psychiatry, Australia, etc. Many public libraries may have a reference section, or reference library, in which the public may access certain books but not remove them from the library.

Should armed forces be allowed to recruit in public schools?

Yes, armed forces should be allowed to recruit in public schools because the government funds these schools and has the right to recruit in them. There is no harm in recruiting in public schools because there is so much about the armed forces not known by kids, and this is a great education opportunity to learn about the life and job of the armed forces.

Should Schools get better school supplies?

In many ways, schools should get better school supplies. Even if it means using taxes, schools should get better supplies. For example, some schools have old text books from 10 years ago. They should get newer versions of those books, unless the information in there is correct as it is right now, or if it does not need to be updated.

What benefits do you get from taxes you pay?

Taxes cover maintenance of roads, bridges, etc. So you benefit from driving of safe maintained roads and bridges. Texas also cover schools, you or your kids can go to school and they get textbooks from school, which taxes also cover. Taxes cover law enforcement (police) so you are safe, because you have police :) and... Public buildings like Libraries are covered by taxes so you can buy books. If you are unemployed the taxes can help pay for you :) that's all I can think of right now
