The library has many functions. It has the obvious function of being a holder of knowledge. In the old way of thinking people come here and pick books off the shelf maybe blow the dust off of them and sit down to read for hours on end. It is meant to be a quiet place to do scholarly research and to do personal research.
Unlike mos people I don't always use the library this way. For me the library is a place to get away in its own right of getting away. I enjoy the quiet which is very different from my dorm with a rule stateing the beat has to stay bumping so their is loud music blasting all day essencially. While here I study or pretend to study with others in study rooms and usually I am unpreductive because when I study with others I see it as social hour.
I also use the library as a hallway to stay out of the bitter cold. Speaking of the weather it snowed today. Oh the joys of winter maybe tomorrow the wind chill will be below 0 degrees that would be just great... but I digress. The library has become my home almost I spend the majority of my time there. The only time I am not here is when it is closed or when I am sleepy. I have a hard time understanding why I didn't spend all my time in high school here it is a pretty happening place.
In review during college I have come to love the library even though early in life I saw it as a bland boring place.
