After reading chapter 6, I thought the most surprising thing to me was how useful the library really is. Throughout my middle school, and high school years, I never used the school library or the public library. It was always accessible, but I never took the opportunity to explore it. The chapter discusses the many things the library offers and it also talks about how organized it is. The library is very useful and I need to use it more.
The library is a place that “knows specific resources and directions to follow-and they therefore can save you a lot of time and help you find solid, useful support for your research.” This basically is saying that the library isn’t just a place to rent books to read for pleasure and research, but a place to find specific facts and specific material to help one with research. The library is also a great place to get away from noise and distractions and a place to study and have some time to ones self.
The library has books, maps, encyclopedias, journals, newspapers, and other useful research materials. All these years I’ve been using the internet as a place to research, but not all the time am I able to find specific materials and facts. The library is very organized and has a lot more facts than the internet.
