Why I Like To Study In The Library!

Visible to anyone in the world

I often like to go to our small village library to study. It is quiet most of the day, and there I can use the computer, especially if any members of my
Family are using the computer at home. 

His dad usually looks after my son  for about an hour while I spend time in the Library or on the University web site. I like drinking a cup of coffee from the coffee machine and work at the computer in the Library.

I also take notes from Newspaper articles that I find interesting,  I read the Euronews or French news too. Sometimes a dear old lady comes in,  and we have a little chat about this or that,  or an old gentleman, or from time to time a young mother with her children comes in to look around in the children's section, so it is not always completely quiet!


In the Library I often do the sudoku,  or the Crossword puzzle in the newspaper,  and just read the news, it is a nice quiet hour, to while away the time, away  from the hustle bustle of daily life, with all of it's tasks and chores. I sometimes chat with the Librarian a little bit, who I now know by name. 

This little  library is my oasis of calm.  (But Ssh ! Don't  tell anyone I am here, I don't like crowds!)

Library's are such great places! 📚
