beccaelizabethCity College spent the summer remaking the library. Which is why I have a ton of books all summer, because there was no going and getting them, and I, er, panicked. But the college library has not been called a library for some time. And now it seems it is to get even less library like:
Damn it! That's the last silent area in the whole college! No, wait, I think there's one associated with religion somewhere... do I have to go sit and pretend I'm praying to get humans to shut up? And it's not like the silent area was unpopular! Why, why, why make everywhere full of talking all the time? How the hell am I supposed to concentrate, like, ever again?
Also, and I have to say this, Book Zone??? *facepalm* for humanity. It's a library There is a word for it. Call it by its name! If it scares off some students, good. They can go use the computer labs. Or better yet, have a common room, which is one of the things they use the space for.
I anticipate spending much more time at the UEA.
... Damn, I can't on Fridays, the schedule just has a lunch hour in the middle. An hour where I will have nowhere to sit in the silence. I'm going to be a wreck.
Maybe the room for AS students has a silent bit?
... when I went in there to look it had a loudness. Boo.
Also? Changing! I do not approve.
... Also, I'm wondering how they can fit all the books in one room when there have up until now been three. The method involved closing the library all summer so maybe there's a new bigger room. Or maybe they have not so many books. Already the reading lists are half at the UEA and the rest really damn ancient copies that literally fell apart in my hands last semester. I wouldn't mind if they went to ebooks instead but mostly they just don't have the books.
*big sulk*
the UEA library is good.
... the UEA library stopped letting me in and I haven't succeeded in picking up my new card all summer, but as soon as I get it again, it will be good again.
There are loos and lockers to put your stuff in and many many floors of many many books.
... nobody will steal my books, they're just a longer bus journey away. :-p
Of course it is possible they've only moved the books away from the silent study area. It would be nice to have silence and studying still available. I just... I really don't expect it to happen.
As you can see, we are busy getting the Information Store ready for you, and we will be opening our doors for you to see the changes on Monday 12th September.
When we open, you will see that a new Book Zone has been created, putting all of your books in one room, to make them easier to find. Also, this will no longer be a silent area, so you can talk as you browse.
