"I love the library. From 8am-8pm, I am here to study and to meditate", says Ashley Gan, 21, from Taylors University."Can't imagine why some people find the library boring, but I don't." A story house filled with books, also known as the library, is now a second home for many students. To them, a trip down to the library has become a part of their daily routine. Various people have different intentions when they journey to the library; some make visit to the library when their is a task that has to be accomplish while some visit the library on a daily basis just to flip some books to gain some useful knowledge. Based on our interview, it has summed up that about 60% of the students come to the library frequently. Therefore, let's find out why students find the library as a haven.
Have you ever wondered why is there a need for library in colleges? Yes, I believe everyone knows the reason why. That is because it holds more than a house full of books which is essential for the students. It also helps to student to receive extra knowledge which will be beneficial to them. Therefore, no matter how old you are, the knowledge that one has will never be enough.
One of the main reasons why students go to the library is to get their assignments done. According to one of the interviewee, Yen May, 19, from Taylors University, said that " If there is research to be done in the library, there is no library." This clearly states that majority of the students make their way to the library to do some research that are most probably asked by lecturers or other purposes. After interviewing a wide array of students, we found out that more than half of the students visit the library to do some research, borrow some subject related books and to print materials that are needed in class. The remaining students said that the reason why they spend some of their time in the library is because they personally felt that it is a nice place to just sit down and catch a breath after a long busy dreaded week in college after hours of lectures.
Besides that, most of them also find the library a peaceful and quiet place to spend their time at. To most of them, the environment is perfect for revising when exam is near and to complete their assignment that is soon to be due. Due to the large number of computers provided, the students find it extra convenient especially for those of them who does not own one by themselves. Some of them also mentioned that library is a perfect place to "chill" as it has a comfortable ambience alongside with the cooling air conditioner. According to another student of Taylors University, Kit Yi, 20, Diploma in Communication said "Library is more cooling that any other places in the campus." Living in this country with only sun and rain, a cooling place needed as it is always important.
Sarah Jane, 20, Foundation in Science, said that " It is of no mistake that every college owns a library of it's own, as it plays one of the biggest role in the entire college." Library is well known for the ambience and the surrounding environment. It provides comfort to the students and makes their university life a little more convenient.
