Top Libraries In US

Who says only a book lover can enjoy libraries and other literary landmarks?

Who says it is only privately funded University libraries that have grandiosity worth seeing? There are many public libraries all over the country that should be on a must visit the list of people. From historical to monumental to quaint, many public libraries are worthy of a trip. In here we give you the top 2 libraries open to the general public in the US.

The Library Of Congress in Washington DC is magnificence to withhold. Sadly, only earnest and authentic researchers are allowed inside the reading room. All others have to be content with viewing it through the balcony. Situated near the US capitol, the landmark library has a Great Hall filled with sculptures, marbles, and columns that enchant the eye. The grand staircase of the library is reminiscent of the Paris Opera House that evokes a feeling of luxury and opulence.
The Central Library in Los Angeles, California is another public building that should be on a must visit list. Every ornament of the library is filled with symbolism. Every alcove seems to hold a mystical feel. With pyramid ingrained in the roof and a Star of Ishtar studded in the tiled floor, the library transports you to an Egyptian era.

Challenges of Finding Adequate Homework Help

For some librarians, the reference material they provide to children is adequate enough to be considered as a homework centre. For others, a collection of computers that have the entire curriculum is sufficient. But the reality is that the right homework help can only be given by an adult. Without a volunteer or a staff member, students are not motivated to complete their work. A peer or an adult is needed by most young children to keep them on track. Furthermore, there some problems that can only be solved through human supervision like validation and motivation to succeed.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of challenges when it comes to staffing for homework assistance. Maintaining volunteer or paid workforce that is more than enough to handle a large number of students who come to a library to finish homework is near impossible. Libraries do not have the budget to hire even part-time employees that can help school going children with their work. Another issue is that libraries do not have the power or time first to recruit and then train volunteers that may act as homework assistants. These challenges have left libraries understaffed and students without the necessary guidance when it comes to completing homework assignments.
