Miyami 642 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 This might be a somewhat strange title but I was just curious as to whenever I stroll across my library at school, it is very crowded most of the time.. but when I look at most people to see what they are doing, pretty much everyone is just facebooking behind their laptops or just using their mobile... some even discuss/talk loud with their friends.. (to clarify, our school has a section where people can study with their laptops n stuff, but also a different section with all the physical books and bookshelves etc, im talking about the latter one). so maybe a couple of people are actually working on some school stuff but it seems to me the library was meant for people trying to find a nice quiet place to read some books. I rarely see people browsing the bookshelves trying to find a book for their study, let alone even reading it at a table or something. Or maybe i'm just old fashioned that everyone is working online only? I use digital books and journals/databases too but from my experience the older physical books usually have some interesting stuff that you don't find online (when they aren't digitally available, which still is a decent amount). So anyway, I was just curious to know what you guys are doing at the library.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiestargossip 521 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I study in my school library because it is quiet and you can have your own space in a cubicle. I rarely take a book from the shelves though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NESSA ♦ 4,659 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Only if is some books that i needed to read because of school, university, or any other type of work that require some books that are either too expensive or hard to find. For others books, like novels, I like to read in my room, so... Either I buy the books or I borrow it to read at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xomondayes 102 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 If I'm desperate I will borrow from the library. I prefer to read my own books [as in store bought and owned by me] but if there is a book in the library that I want to read then I'll check it out :3 [i usually don't borrow either because then I forget to return them] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Maple 9,002 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 When I'm at my college's library I mostly use their computers to study or do homework, I never read in there nor do I borrow books. If I want a book to read I usually buy them online or at a bookstore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow White 1,292 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Back in school I used to either borrow books and study at home or work with them in the library. I also think of library as a place where people could study quietly but I guess it changed with time and as technology expanded. I think that the size of library makes a bit of difference too. At my first uni the computers were in the library, so there was always a bunch of people using them and chatting but at my second uni the computers were located in the halls, so the library was only for people who actually wanted to look for something in the books or just study. And I'm just like you. Digital books are convenient but there's always a lot more to find in traditional paper books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willwookie Oppa 319 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Our library is big and two stories with tiny lounge rooms you can shut the door with (really it only has a lounge chair, and a desk) big enough for one person to privately study or read. I go there sometimes to sleep or force myself to sit down and study. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
