The Reflection Of The Library Space In The University

When I saw my friends walking toward me, that’s when I finally stepped into the building. As I walked into the building, I was astonished by how enormous the school was compared to my middle school. Some teachers welcomed me to the new school, and asked me if I needed any help finding the classrooms, while the other teachers were too busy typing on their computers. The moment when I entered my homeroom, it surely was much bigger than the one at my old school, the room makes me feel more comfortable with the new environment because the teacher was very friendly and very professional because of well-prepared clothes, and the way she talked. I finally realized that I have entered the world of reality, such as passing all my classes and graduate high school, then off to

The author starts off with a rhetorical question: “What kind of problem is a library?” urging the readers to think about this question as they continue to read the article. The question grabs the readers’ attention, and intrigues them to read on to find and answer. She further utilizes this technique of rhetorical questions throughout the article for the same purpose of emphasis on the vitality of the role of public libraries. Moreover, Smith extensively employs the use of metaphors and personification. For example, she describes the internet as libraries’ “universal death knell”, which portrays the internet’s negative impact on the development of

The perspective given in this book is third-person omniscient. This book talks about the way the students felt, as well at the administration and faculty. They act as if they were on both sides and experiences both first-hand.

This essay will discuss Donovan Hill’s Queensland State Library; it’s relationship to their architectural style and its involvement with the community by using diagrams and discussion. Donovan Hill is a Brisbane based firm established in 1992. Their style highlights the value in creating smaller individual experiences throughout the spatial programming whilst also not being governed by climate but using it to their advantage. Donovan Hill is well known for their design of the outdoor room in C-House and this design is precedent for spaces in the Queensland State Library. Donovan Hill follows the International Style and address the three principals outlined by Hitchcock and Johnson in their book The International Style. They find balance

As I thrusted open the wooden doors, refreshingly cool wind blew my hair back. Sunlight surrounded me instantly, and I basked in the glorious sunshine. The blinding sun warmed my body, and I quickly unbuttoned my coat. Just then, the sound of conversations filled the air as people started leaving.

The next form of factor that was utilized in the making of the Johnson library was the space of the interior of the library. Inside the library is a vast space that is overlooked by the looming wall of presidential papers of the LBJ years. This spacing is another factor that touches on the subject of Johnson’s significance. Someone who enters this room is overwhelmed by this immense wall that symbolizes Johnson’s achievements. This overwhelming feeling is underscored by the plethora of space in the room, which makes the presidential paper wall seem even larger than it

The decision to promote the library as a “place for everyone” comes from an understanding of the diversity in my community and a strong belief that library resources should be accessible to all, not just a particular demographic. Everyone should feel comfortable in the library, regardless of their background or personal circumstances. Therefore, we as the library have an obligation to create an environment that fosters inclusion and diversity.

I open the door to the school hallway. Inside I hear the chatter of many students at once. There were dozens of people in the area, and I was slightly overwhelmed. This place I have entered is what I wold come to know as Quest Middle School, one of the most stressful, but interesting two years I have had in a long time.

From the moment I walked into the doors of Gertrude Fellow’s Elementary School as a five-year-old kindergarten student, I fell in love. I went into each day excited and ready to learn. This passion for school continued throughout my high school and college years. It is part of what drives my love for education. School was always an environment to be myself, explore new things, and to even make a few mistakes. As a young child, I thought everybody felt the same way. I was confused when peers said they hated coming to class, or couldn’t wait to go home. I couldn’t understand why anyone would hate something I loved so much.

The bell rung and with my heart pounding out of my chest, I exhaled and sped to my first class. A million thoughts were running through my mind and I couldn’t have asked for more. A new school and a new start was bound to shake the nerves of my body and the air around me. My brain was spinning and my hands shook as I held onto the door that seemed to hide a different dimension. Oh wait, there was a line to get inside. As I fell in unison with my peers, I thought about this thrilling experience.

A library is filled with diversity. Magazines, newpapers, computers, books of all shapes, sizes, colors, and genres line the shelves in hopes of being read. Personal and childhood experiences are often like books on a library shelf. Like a book, childhood experiances may be very similair but the outcome of adulthood or ending of a story are never the same.

I would say that almost everyone in the United States has been to a public library at some point in their lives. I remember going to the public library in almost every town that I have lived in since I was about five or six years of age. I remember, as a young child, checking out books on all kinds of topics such as dinosaurs, racecars, and Egyptian mythology. As I grew older, my taste in literature evolved. I would check out books about wizards battling against dark magic, snipers saving the world from evil regimes, and every day, ordinary people trying to survive in dystopian worlds. The public library gave me access to all of these literary adventures. I also remember when public libraries started incorporating music, movies, and televisions shows into their in-library resources. I was able

I remember walking through the heavy double doors; they felt like two hundred pound boulders in front of my wrists. I was entering a new territory, trying to figure out where I would fit in. It was something so commonplace but so foreign to me. The same school had been my home for a decade.

“Mr. Gorman calls the library the "great intellectual and cultural center" of the academic community. Librarians sometimes call the library a "third place," a reference to a theme in Ray Oldenburg's book The Great Good Place. Mr. Oldenburg, a professor emeritus of sociology at the University of West Florida, lamented in his book that good public places are disappearing in America. Society, he says, desperately needs third places — places that are neither home (the first place) nor work (the second), but spaces that allow people from different parts of a community to come together and engage one another” (“Thoughtful Design” 2). This is something that has immeasurable value, giving something that monetary value could never begin to compare. The third place maybe romanticizing it a little but, regardless it rings true the library is an ideal place for these social interactions to
