I went to the library recently searching for a book. During this search I came across several books and other media that I was interested in but I never knew they were available in our library. I spent two hours discovering all the interesting stuff, one book leading to another, from shelf to shelf, from one floor to another. My back started aching and I convinced myself to end this venture for now. I checked two extra books than I had originally planned before coming to the library. Not to mention I almost forgot the book I came for in all the excitement. I rarely go to the library and anytime I actually go is to either do homework or for group projects but I almost never check the shelves or the library catalog. Even if I have book in mind that I want to read, checking our library never occurred to me.
This made me realize how many resources we take for granted in our school. We pay for all this but never even bother to look into the stuff that is available to us, things that would make our lives a bit easier. Not just in the school there is a lot of other stuff we pay for but never realizing what exactly we are paying for. That is pure human ignorance and laziness that hurts us in so many ways. Well, now I at least know one more useful tool available for me: the library!
It seems obvious but I never really realized its full potential until now and I'll try to make the best of it. Unless I forget.
