Students give their thoughts on
books and library
The library is a place to collect thoughts, ideas and information
whether it is for educational purposes or just for pure enjoyment. It is
a place where John Green is found in the hands of a student sitting at
a table with her journal open. The library is a place to find quietness
when the 1,000 word essay is due next class. It is a place to find your
inner vampire or werewolf. The library is a place to find out what
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis and spectrophotometric
mean. It is a place to find students socializing before and after school.
The library is a place to find peace after walking through the crowded
and dreaded main hallway. It is a place for each and every student to
utilize however they please.
