There is no doubt that the library is a part of university life.
The library of our school is not rich in books, and there are many science majors, but there are relatively few social science books, but they are enough for primary reading.
I often go to the library after class or at night, and sometimes I just browse the shelves of social science books and read aimlessly. At that time, it was a kind of leisure, and all the books were relaxed, and there was no need for in-depth reading of essays or essays.
There is another kind of book that I need to sit down and read carefully. I will find a place near the bookshelf and watch it all day.
I have tried to borrow books back to the dormitory before, but often the books I wanted to read at that time were taken back to the dormitory, and I didn't want to read them after turning over a few pages.
I don't think the book I borrowed is attractive enough, but I failed again and again. Finally, I realized that there was no reading environment in the dormitory. I can't read deeply in this state of chatting with my roommate and eating for a while.
Since then, I have often been in the library, and I have gradually fallen in love with my life in the library. It can be said to be a paradise in college life.
Later, the library was expanded and a new building was added, which can be directly worn from the old building to the new building. On the second floor of the new building is a large study with warm yellow lights. A table can seat six people, and there is a small cupboard next to it for personal belongings.
I like warm lighting, which makes me fall in love with the study room in the new building and makes me go to the library more and more times.
After my junior year, I insisted on getting up at five o'clock almost every day, waiting to open the door at the library gate, then occupying my favorite seat and reading all day.
There are also several coffee vending machines in the new building. Put in a dollar coin and you can have a steaming cup of coffee. With the aroma of coffee, it is good for me to start a day of reading.
Most of the study rooms in the new building are people preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. Many people spread tablecloths on tables, and the study rooms in Jeannot are colorful. Although the studio is very big, we can only hear the sound of students turning pages, and everyone walks lightly.
In a place like a library, people's hearts will sink unconsciously, and it is easier to think in a quiet atmosphere.
After graduation, I still miss the school library. If university life has brought me the greatest gain, it must be the library. It can be said that it is the only place that the school has given me that is worthy of nostalgia.
My reading volume also began to soar after soaking in the library. Several Complete Works of South Huai Jin, biographies of famous people such as Lincoln and Churchill, Emma's representative works Tess, Sense and Sensibility, Oliver Twist and The Old Man and the Sea were all read at that time, and some books also made detailed reading notes.
When I was looking for a job, college study came in handy, and I found my dream job.
All this is thanks to the days when I ran the library in college.
After work, people may feel that they have no time to read books when they go to work during the day and sometimes work overtime. And there is no library near the unit or residence.
In fact, in first-and second-tier cities, the development of community libraries is relatively sound, and basically several communities will have a small library.
In Beijing, there is the National Library in Haidian District and the Capital Library in Chaoyang District.
Both are national libraries. Their advantage is that they have a large collection of books and can consult some documents, which is helpful for thesis writing. But the disadvantage is that the flow of people is large, which leads to many new books being borrowed, so it is difficult to borrow new books.
When you arrive at the library, you will find that there are so many people studying that you can't find a seat when you arrive late, so you have to wait in line to open the door.
During the half year of writing my thesis, I spent most weekends in the Capital Library.
At that time, the required reading "How does society remember" designated by the teacher only had the first picture, which could only be read in the library and could not be borrowed. I spent several weekends there.
There is also a children's library in the Capital Library, which contains many children's picture books and story books, and a small activity room, which is also crowded on weekends. But this is a good place to take care of children.
Actually, I prefer small community libraries to these two national libraries. I used to live in Zhongguancun, and there is a Haidian District Library nearby. The scale is very small, and the sign at the door is also very ugly. Few people know the existence of this library if they don't live nearby.
For this reason, newly published books can often be found in this small library. In Chaoyang District, there are many similar community libraries.
Find a weekend, go to the library, find a book and read it for a day, and you will find that the life of sinking down and reading is very calm.
Some people may say, can't you read a book after a day at home or on the sofa in the dormitory? Why do you have to go to the library? You literati are melodramatic, you study when you study, and you have to pay attention to what environment.
If it had been before, I would have thought so.
So I borrowed books I wanted to read home countless times and returned books that were about to expire to the library countless times. Cycle after cycle, never tired of it. Even after I left Zhongguancun, I had to travel half a city to borrow and return books. I only read a few pages of many books, and some books have never been opened since I got them back.
However, the library can create an atmosphere for you, surrounded by books on the shelves, people immersed in reading, and even white-haired old people. Inside, you won't be distracted by other things. At this moment, you just need to sink yourself into the book and follow the owner in the book, either happy or sad.
You go out of the library and look at the noisy cars and people outside, and then you come back to reality.
Reading in the library for two hours is more efficient than reading at home for one day. I don't know if others are like this, at least I am. Just like you study in the classroom when you are at school. It is a truth that you can't finish reading a bag of books when you go home on holiday.
Going to the library can make people temporarily sink into the world of books and let themselves think seriously; Going to the library can make you concentrate on reading, and the power of concentration can make people read faster and more effectively.
In a word, the library is a place where people can feel the pleasure of reading.
When you don't know where to go, you might as well take up your schoolbag and go to the library all day.
