There is No Egg in Eggplant, No Ham in Hamburger, Neither Pine or Apple in Pineapple!

Abstract

If you have recently tried to learn a foreign language or traveled abroad, your awareness becomes stimulated by the challenge of functioning in a culture vastly different than your own. Even if you possessed the ability to speak the language; idioms, everyday expressions, and exceptions to grammatical rules probably led to a host of humorous exchanges. For burgeoning populations in not only urban but also sub-rural and rural communities, public libraries have become a destination for patrons seeking an informational and social center. There may be “no place like home”, but what if you are far from home or need to adjust to a new home? The encouragement and promotion of multiplicity and diversity can take many forms in public libraries.
