Hello New York Public Library...

...we meet again! :)

Hi Library Lovers! It's Tarra, and I'm back with library adventures at the New York Public Library! YAY! You know you're excited too! ;)

Since I completed one of my internships on Monday, I have time to get back to the job search in one of my favorite places - you guessed it, the library!  The library keeps me more focused when it comes to getting stuff done as well as provides the proper seating area and hard surface to set up my work station.  Yes Rick, as I mentioned before, these tables are good for dancing on! haha

Man...taking pictures in the library is kinda awkward. haha Definitely more comfortable when you're at the UP library!

ANYWAY, it's time to get some work done. The library closes at 8 p.m. EDT, which means it really closes at 7:45 p.m. What?!

Hope you have a great Wednesday! Happy Hump Day! Woot! ;)

Library Lovers Month

Happy Library Lovers Month! I hope you all will take advantage of the wonderful Wilson Clark Memorial Library we have here on campus.

So for the last 4 days, I didn't have the slightest idea about how to write the first blog installment of this month. There are just so many things I love about the library, I couldn't choose just one. But then! An opportunity presented itself. In this weeks edition of The Beacon, one of the staff writers wrote a wonderful article professing her love for our near and dear Library that almost made me cry. =D

As you may already know, my favorite place in the library is the second floor balcony facing the parking lot. When no one is in my spot, it is a nice place to enjoy green soccer fields and without the hustle and bustle of the main entrance. However, its not as quiet and eery as the basement. Another one of my favorite places is white table just adjacent to the main doors in the reference area. Although much more distracting then the second floor balcony, when sitting there I know I will have the table all to myself, with no one sitting too awkwardly closing, which allows me to work on my studies in peace.

So I ask you this, those of you who read The Balcony Beat,

what is your favorite place in the library?

And as I have said before, take advantage of this building. It has so much character, so much history, I would hate for it to go to waste.

Keepin it real from the.......second floor study carols overlooking the pilot house? Change of venue.

February February February

You can only wonder as to why I titled this blogpost February, when it is clearly still January. In fact, we still have 10 more days until it is February. HOWEVER, February is an amazing month.

Not only because it is black history month, or the month where people spend way too much money on those they love, ultimately contributing to the idea of a corporate holiday.

February is also.............

LIBRARY LOVERS MONTH!

(Thank you Tarra McCurdy)

For a library lover, such as myself, this is the perfect opportunity for one to take pride in their local library, school library as I will, or even personal library, and make the most of it!

So, I have a plan.....

I hope I can follow through on this.

I hope to report each day of February as to why the library is an awesome place.

However, I can't do this alone.

So hopefully, my wonderful library friends and fellow editors, Zack, Tarra, and Rick will be up for contributing to this daily love for their library!

Because the library is definitely a place to love!

HELP US CELEBRATE LIBRARY LOVERS MONTH!

Own it.
