Fudan's library leaves me the impression of being very acient with broken books and shelves everywhere, the color of which was pale and faint. However, VCU library turned out to be bright and colorful, with beautiful pictures on walls of the first floors.
The tour around library proved to be interesting and exciting. I have always thought of librarian job as quite but beautiful, sitting in the sea of books and smiling at the people checking out books. Today’s tour backed up my theory, but added something more to my understanding of the job as a librarian. Working in the library can be both peaceful and vigorous!
Our guide Dan Ream created great fun during the whole trip by telling his amusing experiences while working in the VCU library. His passion for the library impressed me much. I even want to a librarian myself!
The different voice limit on each floor seemed very special but reasonable. And the audio video service on the third floor is simply cool. All the machines there look so professional! I hope that I can have a try on one of them!
I have a library-mania since the first thing I would like to see on arrival of a college is the library. VCU establish a fine image by its well-equipped library. I quite agree with Mr. Ream that the time one need to find the library link on a university’s webpage implies the level of that university.
Thanks to “Dream” for such a wonderful tour!
