how sad that some people these days cannot appreciate the value of a real library anymore. i've survived my college days because of my favorite libraries. they make you concentrate and focus on studying in a way my room or the internet never could.

i also loved looking up the old books where previous students already highlighted the important parts for you and some even wrote notes on the margins of the pages. if the borrower's card at the back is old, you can even get to see if the book was read by a now famous person sometimes. you get to hold an actual piece of history
