I've written a program that keeps a linked list of Personnel. The Personnel can be of the type Student(inherited from Personnel) each student has the name and id from Personnel and a Queue of type books. Everything works except it doesn't display the list of books. please offer any help here is my code

struct Book{								//Number 1
	char title[30];
	long dueDate;
	struct Book *next;
	};

	void display(void){								//Display function for part 2.4
	struct Book *temp;
	temp=front;
	while(temp!=0){
		cout<<"The title of the book:\n"<<temp->title<<endl;
		cout<<"The due date of the book is:\n\n"<<temp->dueDate<<endl;
	}

	void display(void){									//Number 3 part 3
		Personnel::display();
		cout<<"Student"<<endl;
		cout<<"Level:\t"<<x<<endl;
		cout<<"Books:\t"<<endl;
		bookQueue->display();
		}

and here's how i'm inserting a book to a particular student

int insert_book(void){							//Number 4 part 2
	Personnel *person=NULL;
	PersonnelNode *node=NULL;
	PersonnelNode *temp, *prev;
	Student *s=new Student();

	temp=head;
	int index=1;
	char name[50], title[30];
	long due;
	cout<<"Enter the name: ";
	cin.ignore();
	cin.getline(name, 50);
	cout<<"Enter the title of the book: ";
	cin.ignore();
	cin.getline(title, 30);
	cout<<"Enter the due date of the book: ";
	cin.ignore();
	cin>>due;
		 while (temp != NULL) {
		 person = temp->getNode();
		 if (stricmp(name,name)==0){
				prev = temp;
				temp = temp->getNext();
				index++;
			}
		 else{
			cout <<"Person to delete is found at index" << index<<endl;
			display_node(person, index);
			s=(Student*)person;							//This changes person from a type personnel pointer to type Student using casting
			s->bookQueue->enqueue(title, due);			//Calls the pointer s to access bookQueue then calls the method enqueue using enqueue
			}
		 
		 }

with such a small amount of code how do you think anyone is going to know the answer to your question? But my guess is that the display() function is never called.
