Between page and screen by Amaranth Borsuk
The library is a building or room containing collections of books, periodicals, and sometimes films and recorded music for people to read, borrow, or refer to. I have only been there a few times since coming to college. Even in high school I only went to the library because the class required it. Since I came to Syracuse i have been in the library only three times. All three times were this year, the first being to print out my resume for the engineering career fair. The second time I had to staple one of my homeworks together for one of my classes. The last time i cam to the library I was expected to actually look at books and first one to check out. I didn't even know where to begin, I started by climbing each flight of stairs just to realize there wasn't any signs saying take this book. So I went back to the first floor where i had saw the new books section upon entering. I looked at a few books before seeing this little all red book. It was filled with nothing but pictures and i thought it would be perfect. A assignment in which I taking pictures of a book with only pictures, it just made sense. So after i found my book i had to find a place to check it out. I looked for the nearest desk and it just happened to be the right place. I gave her my book and card, made a joke about how this book was perfect for this assignment, and then put the book in my bag and went home. This was by far the most involved trip i have ever had to the library since i left high school. Even in high school i didn't do much looking around in the library. I asked the librarian where i could find a specific topic and i took the first book related to my research. As you can tell, me and the library are not the best of friends, we rarely ever see each other and when we do, its short and to the point.
