 EXHIBITION

Anexhibition, in the most general sense, is an organized

presentation and display of a selection of items. in
practice, exhibitions usually occur within museums,
galleries and exhibition halls , fairs, and festivals.
An exhibit is an array of cues (visual, auditory, sensory,
etc.) purposely brought together within a defined
boundary for a desired effect.
 EXHIBITION

The word "exhibition" is usually, but not always, the word used
for a collection of items. sometimes "exhibit" is synonymous with
"exhibition", but "exhibit" generally refers to a single item being
exhibited within an exhibition.
Exhibitions may be permanent displays or temporary, but in
common usage, "exhibitions" are considered temporary and
usually scheduled to open and close on specific dates. while many
exhibitions are shown in just one venue, some exhibitions are
shown in multiple locations and are calledtravelling exhibitions
Though exhibitions are common events, the concept of an
exhibition is quite wide and encompasses many variables.
exhibitions range from an extraordinarily large event such as
aworlds fair exposition to small one-artist solo showsor a
display of just one item.

community beyond the information agencies wall. as
such, outreach and extension services are
interchangeably used term because their nature is
almost identical where they functioned by reaching out
to the communities beyond their own premise.
Most of the services or programs are targeted to the
underserved population.

Part of the survival of public libraries, especially, and

maybe other type of information agencies.

community where private transport is also limited.

the public.
Libraries (especially) and information agencies have a
social responsibility to be a part of developing an
information society by becoming a catalyst to the
development of a community through the provision of
appropriate and essential information services.

Storytelling
Traditionally storytelling in libraries has meant face-to-face, oral
performance of folk literature for children in a special story
time setting.
Storytelling for the library and information science (LIS) field is
define as a face-to-face oral performance during which
storyteller(s) and listener(s) synchronously co-create a narrative
based on dynamic interaction and shared experience
A story telling is unique because the storyteller(s) and the
listener(s) create the storytelling experience together as the
story unfolds because the storyteller changes the developing
narrative in response to an audiences feedback. the storyteller
manipulates both the performance and the text itself as the
experience unfolds.

ACTIVITIES : STORYTELLING

Nature of storytelling
Storytelling needs practice. practice makes perfect
Storyteller still need to memorize the story as improvisation still
requires knowledge of the original story. otherwise storyteller may
divert or stray away from the real context of the story.
Storytelling session needs strong imagination of the storyteller and as
it flow, the imagination of the listeners may also be enrich. imagination
means creating image inside the mind.
Other skills may also need to be incorporated during storytelling, such
as singing as the original story from the books does not consist any
melody or lyrics and the storyteller has to make up or compose the
song and singing it. it not only captures the interest of the audience
but it also helps the storyteller to memorize the story itself.
Storytelling can be an action oriented activity as the storyteller tries to
visualize the action mentioned in the text form.

ACTIVITIES : READING FOR THE
BLINDS & VISUALLY IMPAIRED

Blind people are people with total loss of the eye sight which
mean they totally cannot see anything.
Visually impaired people who may have little vision but
insufficient for them to see even in a close or near view. they are
partially sighted but much worse than a myopic (short sighted)
person.
It is important that no matter what, people with total visual loss
or partially sighted ought to be equal rights to reading materials.
therefore there are libraries that provide reading materials in
braille books, giant or large print books, and talking books.
Talking books are the only means for the blind to enjoy reading
without having to read themselves.

visually impaired. yet, with new technologies available
today, books for the blind is moving toward a digital
format.
