Iowa City Public Library

The public library is near the University Capitol Center, which is so close for Iowa students that they just need to take five or ten minutes to arrive there on foot. Next, it is a good place to study. there are many books, which you can not only read in the library, but also borrow them, if you have a library card. What is more, there even are some study room which you can study by yourself or with friends in a quiet environment.

       As for study room, I want to talk about how to get a study room. To begin with, you must have a library card. Then you can go to page station which is on the second floor. Next, you need to ask assistants whether there are some study rooms which are empty. Finally, you need to ask them for a study and put your library card there to make sure you will return the key. Thus when you return the key, you do not forget to get your library card.

Hi, guys here we are again, with a new place to follow up

We went today afternoon to the Public Library, I think that most of you know this place very well, but I would like to show you some aspects of this amazing place. The Public Library is a big place where converge a lot of people, not just to read, this place offers a variety of thing to experiment yourself or with a group of people, such as classes to children, young people, and seniors, different kind of classes art classes, economy classes, poetry, technology and other. When you go into the Library, you can see a diversity of options to choose.

To compare the Iowa City Public Library with The Main library of the University of Iowa, they have plenty of similarities, a lot of books, but I think that The Public Library is a place where you can feel yourself more relaxed and comfortable because this place is not just to study or prepare a course. In the Main library of the University a lot of students are there, talking around and you do not have enough privacy.

I strongly believe that one library has to be a quiet place, where everyone could be concentrated on their studies. In the second floor of the Public Library there are some computers where you can investigate about different topics and there are a lot of people that can help you if you have some question. However, the Main Library of the University of Iowa is open 24 hours, that is amazing! and it has more information and archives.

It is important to mention that in the Public Library, you can borrow movies, music discs, electronic devices such as DVD players, video games. The library has a special kids’ area where children can enjoy a lot of things while they develop their sense of reading and share with other children.

I cannot say which place is worst or better because I think that each place has his pro and cons. Both places are comfortable on his purpose, and both have excellent people prepared to help you in all you need.
