Every Hindu family in Bali dedicates offerings of canang sari on a daily basis. The provision of the offering is not always created by them, but they buy canang sari. This has turned canang sari into a market commodity. Therefore, women have emerged as canang sari street vendors in the several towns in Bali. This study examines the reasons why women do this job, especially in Singaraja Regency. The approach of this research was qualitative study which focused on critical social theory. The results show that the reasons women do such business activities not solely because canang sari street vendors is an informal economic sector, but also it is related to the ownership of economic, social, cultural, and symbolic capitals. This reason is strengthened by the condition of Balinese who have affected by McDonaldization society so they prefer to buy canang sari rather than making it their own.
This study aims to (1) identify problems faced by public libraries in its development, (2) identify public library management system in Bali; (3) identify various programs developed in public libraries. This research is conducted by using qualitative research methods so that the target of this study is not on measurement, but on the understanding of social phenomena from the perspective of the participants or according to the perspective of emik. The results show that the common problems faced by public libraries are as follows: library buildings that are less representative; Lack of human resources / librarians; lack of library operational funds; job placement uncertainty. Public library management system is almost the same in every library, which distinguishes the allocation of funds disbursed by local governments.

The purpose of education in Hinduism is to establish an adult human or dewasa (dewasa= human with god character). Education is also an attempt to achieve Catur Purusa Arta (the four goals of human life). Having enough knowledge will help people build good characters. Strengthening the human characters are not only trained in the school but also in the family environment. Balinese tradition in transferring moral messages for the younger generation is very diverse. One of them is through the reading "prasasti" on certain clans in Bali. Prasasti is lontar (palm-leaf manuscript) contained a genealogy or a chronicle of a clan. "Prasasti" is usually read once every 210 days. All members of the clan will gather at the family temple to listen to the messages which inherited by their ancestors. Knowing the chronicle of the family is very important for Balinese in order to increase pride and self-esteem. In this event, youth would learn how important to be good people. At the end of the reading, the elders will give commentary to the text in order to be imitated by future generations. In the context of library science, Balinese are familiar with the information literacy as a means to pass on the knowledge from generation to generation in order to pass on the noble values that have been handed down. This paper tries to explore: (1) why some clans still maintain the tradition of reading "prasasti", while there are clans that did not; and (2) what values are presented at the time of reading "prasasti".
