♡ UNISON: union members made my workplace great
Alex Anthony, 25, library assistant As a library assistant my job is to be the first point of contact for people who come in to use the services – I look after the book stock, order new books, transfer books, advise parents on what level children’s books their child should have and more. I also help with events, like the summer reading challenge which had about 1,500 children taking part in my area. Sometimes my role is to read with children, which is fun. Some actually want to take apart a book and discuss the characters; others clearly haven’t been listening and just stare at you blankly. I’ve been a member of U...

6 Ways a Holistic Approach Can Change Your Life
Holistic has many definitions -- some call it woo-woo, others spiritual, others educated. I like to think of a holistic life as a wise life; you live a life that you know will be better by looking at the big picture, living life as wholly and being aware of the impact of your action. What we think, do, say, eat, practice and believe in, and our impact on others and the planet, are all reflections of how we choose to live our life. Let's look at your life as a whole, and how you live. Often being holistic has been mistaken with being spiritual. It's not uncommon for spiritually-enlightened people to be holistic because they...

It will take more than smartphones to stop boarding school children being damaged
A new claim that modern technology means boarding pupils no longer feel cut off from their parents ignores the deep and lasting effects of institutionalised abandonmentTwo things are infinite, suggested Einstein: the universe and mankind’s stupidity. Should we survive as a species, we will surely look back with horror on how we sanctioned the abandonment of children in boarding schools. We may wish we had outlawed publicity stunts such as an article in the Telegraph this week celebrating the fact that: “Today’s boarders are no longer cut off from their overprotective parents.” This is apparently due to the smartpho...

Why You Should Pick Up A Novel If You're Feeling Lost
We all read for a variety of reasons: for school assignments, for pleasure, to remain "in the know," to escape from reality. But reading literature, particularly if it's relevant to your current life stage and situation, can have a profound effect on your psyche. This concept is the central tenant of bibliotherapy, defined as "the prescribing of fiction for life's ailments" by practicing bibliotherapists and co-authors of The Novel Cure, Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin. While their therapeutic practice isn't based in medicine per se, the colleagues and long-time friends have been helping thos...
