City Libraries

One of the biggest groans you hear from students is how much time they spend in the library and how they hate it so much. I'm glad that's not me.

I recently joined the Provo city public library because I have a lot of time to read now, which I absolutely love. City libraries are the best. Of course, this library is much bigger than the one in Royal City and I like that I don't have to wait weeks for the book I want to be delivered. Belonging to a library makes me feel good. I'm not sure why, but it does. I like that I can get pretty much any book (or movie) that I want, that it's free, and that my library card is small enough to be on my car keys so it's with me at all times.


I also like the people at the library. Mostly I just like to people watch. At BYU, just about everyone is white, 18-28, and LDS. But when you enter a public library you get it all. Homeless people, people with more tattoos than you can count, old people, and lots more. Today, there were two men playing chess between the C & D fiction section.
Going to the library is like a breath of fresh air. Even if that
air smells of old books and is a little musty.

  1. I guess it depends on how much time at the library one's major requires ;)
