JCU Library: Is It Just A Library, Or Heaven In Disguise?

For all those who thought that the library is just a place with a lot of books and an old lady walking around telling you to be quiet if your chair squeaks, you are sorely mistaken. In the James Cook University library, there is indeed an abundance of books for many different areas of study, and sure if you're speaking too loudly someone is bound to point it out. But that's not all the JCU library has to offer!

If you feel a little too lazy to actually go into the library, they have online sources (e-books) that can give you the information that you require. This is a general assumption, because most of them are just snippets of the full book. There are so many technical terms I could go over like LibGuides, phrasing and such, but if you weren't in that tutorial then it's your loss. The main point I'm stressing is that the library is a cool place online.

However, if you wish to actually experience the library in all its glory by walking through those hallowed electrical doors, you will not only get the rich ancient book smell from the floors and floors of books and a friendly smile from the staff behind the counter, but you will also get the privilege of finding a small quiet spot in which you can relax with a good book or study privately surrounded by all the resources you could ever need.
On the ground floor you can find an entire room dedicated solely to the use of computers, a cheery staff member ready to help proofread your assignments and even a couched area labelled "The Quiet Spot". Does that not sound like Heaven to you? No? Well, let's move on to the second floor.
Ah, the second floor. This is where it begins to feel like a library. Row upon row upon row of books just waiting to be read. Peaceful corners in which you can study with no distractions. Computers placed conveniently near the books when you need that little extra something in your referencing. As if that was enough, there's even a THIRD floor of the marvelous tower of knowledge.
Because the library holds so many books, they just had to contain them somewhere. That somewhere, if you haven't guessed yet, is the third floor. This is where the good stuff is. If you need to get away from someone, no one is going to bother walking that far just to annoy you. The quiet zones are larger, as not many people wish to study further up. The books, rich in their words and scent, surround you, almost giving you a comforting hug.

Now if yo say you don't like libraries, you obviously haven't set foot upon the ground that is the Eddie Mabo James Cook University library.

If not, go! Now! Right now! I'll be watching.
