Careers in Library & Information Science


It's no secret that reading is good for you. Just six minutes of reading is enough to reduce stress by 68%, and numerous studies have shown that reading keeps your brain functioning effectively as you age. One study even found that elderly individuals who read regularly are 2.5 times less likely to develop Alzheimer's than their peers.

Books are packed with knowledge, insights into a happy life, life lessons, love, fear, prayer and helpful advice. Books have been here for centuries and without them today’s knowledge of our past ancestors, cultures and civilizations would have been impossible. There are a lot of wonderful reasons why reading is important. Here are a few reasons why you should consider reading a book:

Ø  To expose yourself to new thing
Ø  To improve oneself
Ø  To improve your understanding
Ø  To improve your imagination
Ø  To reduce stress
Ø  To improve your memory
Ø  To entertain oneself

The debate between paper books and e-readers has been vicious since the first Kindle came out in 2007. Most arguments have been about the sentimental versus the practical, between people who prefer how paper pages feel in their hands and people who argue for the practicality of e-readers. But now science has weighed in, and the studies are on the side of paper books, as:

Ø  Reading in print helps with comprehension.
Ø  Reading in a slow, focused, undistracted way is good for your brain.
Ø  Reading long sentences without links is a skill you need — but can lose if you don't practice.

If you are in a love affair with books and can’t think of life without them, then this is definitely the perfect career for you, surrounded by the love of your life.
