Reflection 1

O.k. now who would have guess that a libaray course would help me learn how to blog. Since being in this class i'm learning cool stuff. We all think that we are computer or internet smart, but when someone can show you that there is more and fun ways to research than you really don't know much. So my recommendation to take the LIB3 course you might learn something.

Library Visit

I went to the Lakewood Library (Angelo M. Iacoboni) located at 4990 Clark Ave in the City of Lakewood since its walking distance from my house. Its a single level buliding attached to City Hall. This library has a variety of sections from fiction, non-fiction, a very good reference section. In the entrance they offer brochures on various programs offered throughout the city of Lakewood (parks, malls, busline etc). I found that they offer a variety of materials like DVD's , Books on DVD, Music Cd and other collections. They also offer online catalogs, public access to the internet and meeting rooms for rent. I really enjoyed my experience the staff was nice and helpful and variety of services and information offered. Never thought the library could be fun and interesting. When i walk to city hall to paybills i find myself going into the library just to see what's new or for the quite atmosphere. What i like to see here is the large section for children which you find a lot sitting down reading or checking out many books to read. They have such a friendly staff who is always willing to assist you with locating the materials you need. They not only offer bookclub for children, but adults and seniors. Since taking this course i find myself walking to the library more often than before plus its good exercise.
