My Favorite music group


My favorite group is Nirvana, this group was an American rock band formed by vocalist and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in 1987. In 1990, the group joins the drummer Dave Grohl. Nirvana became more famous after the suicide of lead singer Kurt Cobain.

One of their best known album is “Nevermind," which includes the song “Smells like Teen Spirit" (one of my favorite songs). This album was certified triple platinum in the United States in less than six months and peaked at No. 6 on the top 100 of Billboard magazine.

I like this group, especially because when I was a child, my parents put their songs all the time and I have good memories of childhood. In general, for me, music is a reminder of the good things in life, is an inspiration, and is almost magical. In addition, the music has a profound effect on emotions, you can make you mourn, laugh, miss, love, etc.

I listen this group especially in times of sadness when I feel lonely, to bring memories that make me happy when I feel melancholy when I have looked forward to a relaxed or just when I want to sit and read for a while.

Here I leave the link of my favorite song of this group:

The library of the future

I have the idea that libraries should be spaces to share knowledge, a place to rest , learn both reading as people who work there . In my concept of the library it is in the way the library workers with the same users are related , because that gives harmony anywhere . A library should have spaces for recreation, for art, to study, to socialize and share ideas. I think the most important fact is to promote an environment for rest and relaxation . 

 As for the location of the library , I think it should be in a place that is easy to reach and access for people with reduced mobility, perhaps in the city center , transport also go directly to the library. 

 The library of the future should have ample space for conversation with comfortable armchairs , a coffee shop, other lounges for reading, others for researchers, with specialized technology available, a playroom for children, perhaps complement the technology with reading and thus make it more appealing to them, the library of the future should also be fully equipped accessible to persons with disabilities. It would also have a special room for people with visual and hearing disabilities. 

 Library digitize the entire collection that has already through the catalog would be possible to provide the online version of the physical collection . As well as technology available within the same library users. 
 The library collection should ideally cover all areas of literature, as well as the various branches of knowledge, should be from baby books to books of medicine, for example, you must also have an extensive collection of books for people with disabilities visual and auditory, because the important thing is to create a more inclusive world, such collections unfortunately, not many libraries have it. The library should work every day, including weekends.

 Hopefully with the advances of technology and the evolution of society towards knowledge, one day we can see all these dreams realized.

My Autobiography...

My name is Kassandra Alarcón, I was born on March 5, 1995, my name comes from the Greek, my grandmother suggested it, as I was her first grandchild and all agreed. I was the first grandchild, the first child, the first niece. Therefore, it was a spoiled child, until he reached my brother Bastian a December 8, 2000, I asked as a Christmas gift because I was lonely and had no one to play, I love it, it's my best friend and a mainstay in my life. I studied basic education in the Iberoamericano School, there I met the man who would be my current partner, support, best friend and boyfriend,Daniel,We have been together for 6 years . I did high school at "Alicante del sol" then did not know what I wanted from life I was very confused. When I graduated, I decided to enter a "Pre-universitario", in that year I thought about what I wanted in my life and I set my goals. In 2014 I decided to study Information Management, Library and Archives at the University Alberto Hurtado and love, every day I learn more. Of course, I hope to achieve the goals I have set.
