ENGLISH HOLIDAY PACKAGE
SECTION A
1A. Read the text below and answer the question after it.
A library refers to a collection of books. Some people have just a couple of books in their
bookshelves, which they describe as personal or home libraries. This is understandable in the
general context that a library is a collection of books. In specific terms, a structure qualifies as
a library only when it has a minimum of 500 text books, not less than that. An ordinary library
has the following sections: Open shelves section, short loan (book loan) section and reference
loan.
The open shelves section is meant for all authorized library users. Users can access books for
books foe reading during prep. Most texts here concern the main subject areas. Books from
open shelves can be lent out for a maximum of two weeks The short Ivan section contains rare
books of those that are in short supply but on high demand. Borrowing is done overnight, in
the evening or for two hours during, the day. Anyone who overstays with a resource material is
surcharged.
The reference section contains books used for reference only. Such as dictionaries, at lases,
encyclopedias, etc. Books in this section cannot be lent out of the library. A school library
serves several functions. It is an important research place, a reference facility a learning
resource Centre for both leaners and their instructors/ teachers, and a refreshment facility
where individuals can read newspapers, periodicals or novels as a pastime.
There should be a clear policy about how the library ought to be used in a given environment.
The librarian should work out a reading schedule to accommodate all interest groups (all those
who wish to use it at any time) and ensure there are guidelines in place so that the facility does
not close down (there should be a librarian who should design a lending/borrowing policy).
He/she should also make the knowledge acquisition processes easy and less cumbersome for
users (the library is a friend of learners and teachers). The librarian should also establish rapport
1 |S2 HOLIDAY PACKAGE 2024
with all users, especially youthful learners, who should be coaxed into developing interest in
library use and application.
In the library reading resources are all classified. To classify books means to arrange or group
them according to the topic, title and author. This is vital because it gives library users easy time
in locating the books they wish to read from the shelves. In sum, classification is the primary
key to assembling, finding, selecting and rejecting (discriminating) books. Correct books and
other materials classification is the starting point of to the successful management of a library.
This is done according to subject groups or through catalogues on the shelves. After
classification, books are then arranged on the shelves. Arrangement of books and other
information materials is done by the guidance of the classification system used. Books are
arranged alphabetically e.g. books on mathematics authored by different people will be
arranged by considering the first alphabet of the author’s surname.
In reference to the text above, your school library lacks a lot and feel all should be put right.
Write down and Explain the advise you give to your librarian to rectify the situation.

aware of his laws and his purpose in our lives. They are God’s servants and they
can take on many without sin and so they can enter into God’s divine presence, and
they can also communicate with humans. Muslims believe that, although angels are
invisible, they exist everywhere, thought the whole universe. They are never far
away and they are always in contact with humans especially when someone prays
or thinks about God. They have no physical bodies but the Quran describes them as
having wings and they are always described as male. The Quran says, “Whoever is
