Lin Go, a student at Lake Forest College, found out that there is a library on campus that is available to students for all their study needs.
“All those times my friends said they were going to the ‘lib,’ I just thought that was a cool place to hang out, like a café or something. I never thought it was lingo for library,” says Lin Go, “I wonder what else I’ve been missing.”
The answer, it seems, is the College’s Math and Writing Resource Centers. “I usually just google homework problems I have – but you’re telling me there’s actually somewhere I can go where people will explain my homework and I’ll be able to understand it? Wow, this place rocks!”
Unfortunately, Lin Go is not the only student to be unaware of the help that is available to them. In a poll last week, it was shown that a shocking 99.8% of students are unaware of either the library or resource centers.
As tragic as this seems, people like Lin Go bring hope to student resource organizations everywhere, as his enthusiasm for the library’s printers, conference rooms, and books is hard to ignore. “They even have computers in the lib with all the software I need for my classes!” says Lin Go, “And I can check out the books for my classes from the front desk! Wow, this place really has it all.”
Lin Go has left the days of studying in his room behind him. He will no longer cram his books onto one small desk. Instead he will utilize the elbow space available at the library, as well as the bean bags that can be found in the corners of the building.
Lin Go says he just can’t wait to tell his fellow students about the library, so that they can share in the many benefits it provides, which hopefully many of them soon will.
