My Vision
To get to the library site,
type on the computer you’re on,
in the address box at the top,
www.libraries.com
With a click of the mouse,
and a look at the screen,
all the libraries of Europe
can easily be seen.
Whether it’s a story about the fairies glen,
or even ghosts and ghouls,
books from the past can be read with joy,
unless the readers are fools!
Libraries in the future can be on the net
on a special web-site address,
all the books and facts will be there,
and advice for bullying or distress.
The fact finder will be good for finding facts
the Second World War and more,
type in the facts you need to find
and you’ll get more than you bargained for!
Or, if you want to get inspired,
why don’t you sit and read a while,
and when you think you’ve read enough,
you can save your story on your file.
If you got stuck on your homework,
or if you want to do it there and then,
click on the homework help icon,
and you’ll get ten out of ten!
If this work makes you hungry,
or you’re thirsty for a drink,
because you’re at home
you don’t have to stop and think!
Words are a useful tool,
you can use them if you try,
so go to the dictionary or thesaurus site,
and you may find words that’ll make you cry.
When you click on libraries of history
you can view libraries of old,
see how old the ancient books are
and see what secrets they unfold.
The smell of leather books of old,
in the future people will see,
crisp parchment and letters of gold,
written by monks in the tenth century.
View the furrowed pages,
and the writing advanced in years,
the words so strong can cause emotions,
laughter and some tears.
My library of the future,
will use technology,
to allow great books that are locked away
to be seen by you and me.
The great libraries of Alexandria,
and the monasteries of Rome,
will reveal hidden treasures,
in the comfort of your home.
For each book will be scanned,
electronically of course,
and a hologram created,
it’s the new modern force!
The holograms are easily viewed,
across the Internet,
just log onto libraries of the world
and within a minute you’ll be met.
Choose any library of interest to you,
any book, no matter how rare,
and with a tiny click of the mouse,
the hologram will be there.
You can marvel at the colours,
and the details in the book,
you will be so inspired,
you’ll take another look.
All this can come true,
but not in the century we’re in,
so maybe this library I created will be real,
let the future begin!
