Life at the Library

While at the library, I feel calm and have some peace and quiet. People here are going about their business, working on things for work or school or just doing whatever. People are also looking at the books and movies, seeing what catches their attention and is enjoyable. I am able to read a book without being interrupted by the common noises I deal with constantly each day. I have access to a computer and am able to surf the internet with no problems. This library contains a large variety of books and I am able to reserve one if a book is unavailable at this time. I also don’t have to worry about someone telling me to stop reading a book if I’m deep into it and enjoying it fairly well. Movies are also accessible to me at the library and I can check them out just as I can a book.

A group of people are talking as if no one else is around. The volume of their conversation continues to grow. They act as if they are the only ones in the library. People are also pretty crowded here even though it is a week day. There is only two librarians at the checkout desk so people have to wait in order to check out whatever it is they want or if they have to wait to be helped in finding something. I wish to use a computer but have to wait until someone else's time limit has expired. I, too, am limited in my time on the computer. This forces me to do whatever it is that I am doing quickly, or else I could get kicked off the computer before I am finished due to the time limit restrictions. As I look for a particular book, it has already been checked out which forces me to wait until it is returned.

While having written about the good and bad aspects of my trip to the public library, I feel the good far out way the bad. However, as I describe the negative things, I am more descriptive. This is probably due to the fact that I enjoy the library and these disruptions bother me. I have only a few details for each when I could of had more for each category about the library. I also should be more descriptive on each subject and maybe included more about the people here. I also needed to be more specific about what sort of things I can find at the library and what I cannot find here like the kind of movies there are or the books that they have for people to checkout. I could have also mentioned what it takes for me to get a movie.

My essay could also have been better written in that I could have used better words for the descriptions and provided a more thorough explanation on the problems with some of the things that I had described in both the positives and the negatives about the library. When I wrote about not having to stop reading a book, I could have explained why I would have a problem with someone telling me to stop reading a book. I could also mention the kinds of books that I can find here and what books I like to read while I am here.
