The Walker Library is a warm and welcoming place for me in my school and also my academic life. The extensive collection of books, journals and magazines. I absolutely love it
Over 85% of the resources are available for loan.
Also, the library provides:
A reference section
A space for private study
- Access to software, intranet, internet, online resources.
- Wireless network for laptop computers
- 7 daily newspapers and 60 periodicals
- Printouts of resources currently in stock
- Collection of DVDs and CDs
- Access to British Library for out of print materials and photocopies for research
- Class use for library lessons and project work based on library materials
I need my library.
As well as providing shelter from everyday life it gives me books and references that can help me enormously with my academic life.
WHAT I WOULD DO
- I would have more e-books because they are easier to read and also more practical.
- I would have greater research facilities in reference to the British Library
- Greater comfy seats for students and also tighter rules on speaking in the library
- The library is a haven so we should keep it so and keep it quiet.
- Book of the week might be a nice addition.
- Also possibly reccomendations by students and teachers.
- Room design: I would make the library more interesting, possibly more pictures and a more vibrant colour scheme.
- Prevent clutter on tables.
- Improve the welcome area. The library is hard to get into
