write likes and dislikes about library
Answers
Answer:
Because I travel, I don't exactly have a local library. “Local” changes every couple of weeks, often hundreds of miles from where “Local” had been just a day or two ago. But I absolutely LOVE the libraries, everywhere I go. Libraries feel like home to me.
I have never found any library that did not feel like a safe place. The opportunity to get indoors out of the weather is also clearly a tremendous benefit, living on the road as I do. But beyond that, the tremendous amount of knowledge and entertainment on those shelves is mind blowing! I'm naturally a book person, so that's what I generally gravitate to, but I can't deny also taking advantage of the music collections, and occasionally watching a movie played on my laptop (with headphones, of course). I've used the internet to print out job applications and scan them back in to email them off once completed. I've spent hours familiarizing myself with the local flora and fauna when I arrive in a new area before I camp. I've looked up books like Chilton's in an attempt to educate myself about how to DIY my vehicle repairs. I've researched points of local history. I live for library days!
Now, however, I am going to take a moment to shine a spotlight on the one thing that libraries have lost in this modern age. Once ubiquitous, prominently located in every library, there was a card catalogue. Like a huge filing cabinet full of tiny little drawers, cross-referenced in every possible way, it contained the details of everything the library itself contained.
“Oh, but we don't need that anymore,” you may say. “That stuff's all on computers now.” And yes, it is, but the computer can't do what the card catalogue can do.
If you've never used one, it might be hard to imagine a card catalogue as a garden path that can lead you to unexpected places, but that's really what it was like. Rifling through those cards, along the way to the one I was looking for, my eye was frequently caught by something I hadn't been looking for at all which would intrigue me, opening new avenues of exploration. I rarely left the library with only what I had gone there for. And I was never disappointed with any of it.
That's it in a nutshell. I love all the libraries, but I dearly miss all the card catalogues.
