The Charms of a Library


So it seems today the library is long forgotten, the treasure chest that we bury further into the ground rather than dig it up, because it expends far more energy.

So it seems that the easiest way wins out.

But to be honest, the charms of a library, big or small, modern or archaic will beat out the charms of an Apple computer...even if it is a stunning model.

Regardless of the scoffs, there is something indescribably charming about perusing the aisles, going on a search for books or even aimlessly wandering to find that elusive, but unexpected book that makes your membership all the more worthwhile.

If there has to be one downside to the library , it has surely got to be the checkout, when the eagerness of borrowing such an amount of books that it astonishes the eyes, but terrifies the shoulders that will have to lug up and down hills.

But besides that the charms of a library is its atmosphere, the searching for books and the quietness that one clearly cannot get in the uni apartments!
