library in house to read most suitable

A Tiny House for a Humble Family

Most of the time when you think of tiny houses, if you’re like me, you’re thinking of a “micro” home of around 65 to 200 square feet.

This house is going to be a little bit different because I think it suits a small family perfectly.

Designed by Jessica Helgerson, photographed by Lincoln Barbour, and recently featured in Martha Stewart Living, the home won’t fail to impress you.

As you’re walking up to the home, you’ll immediately notice the green, living roof.

This small house is surrounded by beautiful trees and other greenery.

If you’re like me, you’ll love the attention to detail everywhere in this house.

Like the tree which comes out of the front porch flooring. I love that.

Notice the swing which is hanging from the tree, too. Wouldn’t you have loved to grow up in a house like this?

When you walk through the front door you’ll see the simple, rustic kitchen.

All of the appliances are compact, there’s plenty of storage, and there’s also open shelf space for frequently used items.

I really like the contrast of colors from white to the natural wood throughout the house and especially in the kitchen.

Walk away from the kitchen and you’ll enter the living room which is incredibly awesome.

There are book shelves from floor to ceiling along with ladders so you can reach the books up at the very top.

Notice how there’s no television and mostly books. No “sheep” living here (get it?).

But seriously, I really like how the environment encourages healthy habits like reading.

You’ll see that they designed and created custom furniture for this area which fits the space perfectly.

Continue climbing up that ladder and over the book shelves to find a super cozy upstairs sleeping loft, just like you’d find in a tiny house on a trailer.

Some of you will really like the large bath tub- something you rarely get to enjoy having in a tiny house on wheels because of extreme space constraints.

The last thing I want to point out to you is the children’s bedroom which features custom made bunk beds that compliment the rest of the home.

The design even includes matching, built-in closet space for the kids room. The bunks provide enough privacy for the children to feel they have their own space.

The Student, Libraries and Machines

Recent debates over photocopying expose the many complications that underlie the practice

What did we do when there were no photo-copiers? From my under graduate days over two decades ago, I seem to remember an economy of paucity where books, class-notes and the low cunning needed to pass examinations served as the principal currencies of knowledge. Other than a few cheap editions and reprints, most books were expensive and difficult to come by outside libraries. So we took ourselves to the reading rooms and tried to switch off the world outside for at least a couple of hours.

This is still not a bad model for the humanities, where often all that you need to do is to place a reasonably intelligent young person and a large number of books in mutual proximity . But Indian libraries are not welcoming or comfortable places, nor do they stay open beyond office hours. The mandarins responsible for higher education do not seem to realize the need of properly equipped and staffed libraries, and waste their time on footling irrelevancies. However, it is also true that we could make do with fewer books in our time, for there was a one-sizefit-all curriculum which was rarely revised. In addition, the leisurely gait of an annual system meant that there was no mad rush for study materials.

Then in the 1990s, things began to slowly change, with `option al' and `special' papers beginning to daringly raise their heads -for the first time, the research interests of the teachers started to be reflected in the curricula.

In 2003, Jadavpur University became one of the first institutes of higher learning to switch wholly to a semester system. The resultant culture shock played out differently -some departments resented it, and did a cutpaste job with their old syllabus, with disastrous consequences. Others, such as ours, dismantled the older system completely and ex tended the scope of op tional courses to cover nearly half the sylla bus. Evaluation meth ods were also chang ed, with reduced weight given to termi nal examinations, and more stress given to continuous evaluati on.

Given the wide range of new texts that were brought into the changed syllabi, ext began to become re the idea of the `set' text began to become redundant. Library acquisitions could not keep pace with the needs of both students and teachers. In a semester at JU, four courses are taught and each of the courses may have anything between half-a-dozen to a dozen texts. In a course titled `Crime Fiction' I once taught, there were nearly 30 detective novels. Which student could be expected to buy all the texts?

And which library would stock them? We had perforce to depend on borrowing, photocopying and in some cases, e-texts or pdf versions of the books. It was that or not running the course at all.

I do realize that the scenario is different with affiliating universities which do not have the luxury of rotating their syllabi or offering optionals. But at the same time, there is a need to move away from the stultifying system of teaching the same syllabus year after year and sending students scurrying to photocopy the same old stuff. Sometimes, the act of photocopying itself becomes a surrogate for study, with proportionately less time devoted to the actual task of reading the copies.

Having said which, the fuss made by the three publishers about photocopying at Delhi University has a faintly comic ring about it. The fact that they did nothing all these years indicates that it was not worth their while then to prosecute, but now the peanuts DU has to shell out as licensing fee suddenly seem to matter. Add to it that one of the trio -which specializes in publishing academic journals -is notorious for charging the most unconscionable prices to libraries worldwide and not paying a paisa to its contributors.

Jharkhand State library: A boon to students preparing for competitive exam

RANCHI: The state library has proved to be a boon to students who are preparing for competitive examinations.

More than 500 such students can be seen in the library anytime of the day. The library has had many students clearing various competitive examinations without tuition and good reading materials needed for these examinations.

Kailash Kumar, a student, said, "My brother used to come to this library regularly and study. Currently, he holds a good post in a bank. Now I have started coming here to study as I am also preparing for competitive examinations." Kailash said the advantage of studying in the library is that his friends, who also visit the library, help him clear any doubts that he may have and vice-versa. "There is absolutely no need for extra tuition," he said.

The main reason behind students going to the library to study is the peaceful and study-friendly environment it offers. "When I see people around me studying it motivates me. I have even formed my own study group. We discuss whatever problem we may have in studies," said Mohit who is preparing for the UPSC civil services examinations.

Students also prefer the state library as it is cheaper than any other library in the city. Manoj, who a member of the library, said, "I have to pay only Rs 25 annually and Rs 50 as security money in return for good environment where I can study for hours together without being disturbed. It is affordable for people like me who are not financially strong."

Although the library offers a good environment, the lack of updated and properly maintained books is a problem. "Many times I can't find the book I need as there is no catalogue available in the library. Another problem which we face here is that the library do not have new books."

Amarnath Jha, the librarian in-charge, said: "The lack of adequate number of staff is the biggest problem in arranging the books. Moreover, as there is no catalogue available in the library, managing the books has become difficult."

As many books are unavailable in the library, many students usually bring their own reading materials. As for keeping themselves updated with current affairs they get the daily newspapers and monthly magazines in the library itself.

Sanjeev Kumar, a member, said, "We get almost a dozen newspapers and almost three dozen latest magazines to prepare for the examination. Many people I know have cleared several competitive examinations by studying the materials available here."
