Community libraries will make withdrawal of books (or censorship) more common as the staff, unlike librarians, are not bound by professional ethics,” he said. “Furthermore, as the staff are drawn from the community, it is likely that more pressure will be exerted upon staff to withdraw books. Consequently, the issue of censorship and banned books are very strong arguments for a professionally run service. If community libraries are to spread, it is very likely that stories of censorship and withdrawn books will increase

A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind.
