Top 5 Reasons Why Libraries are the Best (Post #12)

I'm a firm believer in libraries. Not just for the books, but for the entire environment. It's a place to kick back and get some work done, or to panic and get more work done. No matter what it is, the library is the place to be. Today I am going to give you more than enough reasons to go to the library to get your work done rather than to depend on yourself to focus in a louder location.

*DISCLAIMER* - I am in a library.

1. Silence 

At Mabee library, there are many different floors for many different students. My personal favorite is the quiet floor. There is no talking and I seem to get all of my work finished in half the time I usually do anywhere else. 

2. ResourcesAnything you could ever want is in this library. Need to find a book? You better believe they got them. Need to use a computer? They have those, too. What if you just want to use the internet on your phone or your tablet? Well, they have that also. 

3. Outside Help

The library also has many helpful resources for homework or paper help. There is the Tutoring Center where you can walk in and receive help on your homework. There is also a Writing Center where you can get advice on your paper. There are also librarians who are always ready to help you find exactly what book you are looking for. 

4. The Shop

I know what you are thinking. Sure, the library is nice for books and studying but I do need food. Well, the library has that, too. On the main floor there is a coffee shop with lots of drinks and snacks. 

5. Atmosphere

There is something about being around a lot of other kids are that studying that makes me want to study. It's an academic place to be, but it can also be fun at the same time. It's like taking a classroom and putting it in a giant coffee shop. There are so many people doing different things!
