Before I go on, I just wanted to say that this is just going to be a lot of rambling and stuff. So if you don't want to read that, go now. Save yourself.
Ok. I live near a St. Pete college campus. They house our library. They suck. The college, I mean. They tore down all the trees behind my house so they can build their stupid parking lot that they don't need.
We [me and my parents] went to the library on Tuesday. We had to drive there because my mom was feeling ill. Otherwise, we could've walked there. It's only like, 3 blocks walking distance.
It was amazing.
The first floor is a Starbucks, new books and DVDs, etc. The check-out is there too, as well as some computers. The little kid's area is in the back, decorated like a castle. It's so cute. Then there's a staircase. Once you walk up those steps, you step into a whole new scene. There's at least 30 computers. It looks like there's miles of books. Shelves everywhere. There's a little island in the middle where the library assistant is. There's a teen room on the right.
But the thing I love the most is the view. There's a long wall of windows up on the second floor, with chairs. The wall faces West, so you can watch the sunset. And plus, there's a view of the woods and the pond [actually it's more of a lake].
The books for 'Young Adults' are actually really good. Nice selection. I checked out The Great Gatsby and The Year of Secret Assignments. I finished Just Listen yesterday, and started The Year of Secret Assignments. It's extremely witty and funny. I was going to check out The Catcher in the Rye, but I thought that would be too much to read on top of everything else. Obviously not. The books are all 28 day books, which is nice.
Listening to 'It's Raining Men' makes me so happy. Seriously. Especially when the part that says 'It's raining men! Hallelujah!' I scream that part. But it doesn't work when you're standing in your driveway and there's several people out and about, staring at you. It's so fun.
Well, I'm going to go work on my novel/short story/thing. See ya'lls tomorrow! Bye!
