Baruch Library Tour

On Wednesday afternoon, in lieu of a usual class of Freshman Orientation, myself and the other students were taken on a tour of the gigantic and quite impressive Baruch library. The library contains many floors, each including a wide variety of books that students can take out or use as reference. In addition, the library is a very comfortable place to study since it includes many chairs and tables, and is well lit and quiet. The building that houses the library also contains a gigantic computer room, and all of the computers in the aforementioned room are equipped with high speed internet access. The tour of the library, however, was a relatively useless activity. This is not meant as a critique of the tour, but more so as a compliment of how easy it is to navigate the library because everything is well laid out and clearly labeled. When you first walk in, there is a directory explaining where everything is and, if you forget about that, then you can rely on the comforting fact that everything is labeled with giant bold silver letters. I plan to use the library regularly and consider it a great asset to Baruch.
