Langara College library
Langara College's library impressed us a lot. There is a Starbucks Coffee at the first floor, you can take a break and enjoy your coffee during study. Inside of library, there are a lot of useful facilities such as computers, televisions, study rooms as well as discussion areas with tables and chairs. It is quite enjoyable to study here. You can take your own laptop to study here or read the books they offered in the library.
We saw several groups of students gather together seem having seminar, checking books, and typing computers, everyone is doing their part, however they talked very quietly without bothering others.
In the library, tables and bookshelves are well organized, it is comfortable to walk on its carpet. Perfect color matching with white tables and green chairs, red tables and orange chairs, as soon as you come in you will feel quite and relax.
First floor
This is the first floor of the library with a lot of computers and books, students study here are very focused. As we can see there are two classes going on at the second floor. Today is Sunday, some of student still have classes on weekend.
It is very bright with giant glasses as wall, which saves more energy and makes study more enjoyable. At the end, there are tones of books on bookshelves. You can pick up anyone you like to read and return it after you finished, bring it out of library is not allowed unless you have student card.
Some students get in pairs to study, some of them just study alone, no matter who you study with, they seem very focus on their study, staring at computer and using hand holding head. Or some of them just discuss with hand gesturing, seems like expressing their opinions.
Group Study Room
This is a group study room allows 5 to 6 students here and this room's regulation shows you can book this room for study purpose at a time. Or you can directly walk in and study, that is what we did, till we left there is not anyone walk in and use it. There are about 4 rooms,each is like this one, at the second and third floor. This room is very quite and suitable to have a seminar or a group discussion. With a bright light, we feel comfortable to study here. Another reason we felt comfortable study here is preference temperature, there is central control there.
